Re: Recruitment / Advertising to MICE

by Jeff Bartig

Hello, Comcast does have a very restrictive peering policy. They also made the decision a couple years ago to pull out of all of the public exchanges across the country and will now only peer over private interconnects at facilities like Equinix. From their peeringdb page: "We do not offer SFI on the shared fabric public switches at any IX." I know the peering coordinator at Comcast (Ren Provo). We've set up peering between WiscNet and some of her past employers. Her more recent employers (SBC, AT&T, now Comcast) have all had more restrictive policies. Comcast has refused to peer with WiscNet at Equinix, even if we pay for the cross-connect. Getting them to connect to MICE will be a challenge.

Comcast requires at least 4 locations of interconnect across the US. There are a couple of MICE members that likely meet their criteria. They don't list Minneapolis as an option. If someone has a "real" contact at Comcast please feel free to introduce MICE to them. http://www.comcast.com/peering/ Qwest is more Tier 1ish, but worth approaching so at least they are aware there is an option in Minneapolis. Everyone, feel free to market the exchange. New members benefit everyone.

Yes, both are at 511 already. I am sure Mike at FWR has contacts for most if not all companies in the building. I don't mind approaching the contacts I have already but would be more in a suggestive role than as an invitational capacity as I don't quite feel I have, as a not-yet-connected participant, jurisdiction to invite on behalf of MICE or to be able to highlight specific benefits of MICE that they would find appealing. Though I suppose they likely already have their own corporate peering policies defined. A quick check on PeeringDB does not look good for the chances of either joining up to a public exchange. I know Comcast makes a good deal off bilateral peering arrangements; access to their nearly captive audience is worth a fair amount to them I know, from first hand experience.

Are Comcast and CenturyLink/Qwest at 511 already?

Recruitment / Advertising to MICE

by Justin Krejci

Hello List, US Internet is in the process of getting connected to the network. In fact I plan to pop down to FWR this evening still and plug in the cross connect on my way home. In any case I only became aware of MICE thru unrelated discussions with WIN who mentioned it to me and passed me Jay's contact info which brings me to the subject at hand, is there any effort or interest in making a more official recruitment effort to get networks and providers to join up? I realize MICE is still pretty new and fresh but it strikes me it is only as useful as the networks that are participating. I think it would be great if we got Comcast and Qwest (CenturyLink, whatever) in particular to join up as they have big local networks in town. I also scanned some of the archives and was interested in the whole CDN participation idea. Any news on that at all with Akamai or others for that matter?
