ISP Glitterati @ Industry Event
Tonight is the innaugural packet exchange point beers with peers function - a fantastic tradition of business card swapping and drinking started a couple of years ago as a method to drum up both trade and customer co-operation by Xchange Point Europe who were recently purchased by PX
So despite both sides hating it, they are now affectionately known by the aggregation of their initials - PXPE
Hopefully full details of the merger/buy-out and the effect it will have on :
Peering - XPE had a much better concept of Peering than PX who appear to have bolted it on the Proximity offerings as it sounded cool
Point-2-Point - both companies have built a business out of selling connections between buildings using different technologies.
Transit PX are best known as offering Level3 transit XPE have clients who are Level3 resellers - (MNet, NEOS etc) so how that will work shoudl be interesting.
