ISP's Happy with Telecom Peering Proposal

It seems that at least one of Telecom's proposals has been greeted positively by the ISP community. Telecoms plan for regional peering would set up 29 regional peering points to ensure that local Internet traffic stays within New Zealand.

There is no current peering agreement between the major New Zealand ISP's after they stopped peering at Internet exchanges in 2004. This means that traffic generated within New Zealand can sometimes still be routed through international links, having a real effect to broadband capacity in an already under performing infrastructure.

Hopefully this is a only one of many positive steps between Telecom and ISP's on the road to LLU?
