[6bone] pTLA request by Euro6IX project forexchangeexperimentation - review closes 3 Sep 2002

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi,

Yes, this is one of the points that we consider. In our project, new business models will be developed, including new services in
the IX. Of course, as you say, we see a model where the IX network can purchase/sell upstream, and this is not accepted by all the
project partners, because the commercial implications.

I believe the new services that can be offered, will compensate it, commercially speaking.

But fortunately in the project the commercial issues are apart.

Regards,
Jordi
