[snipped from uunet article] "or ISP's of similar size, route each others' traffic to destinations on their respective networks. Because the flow of data and use of infrastructure are anticipated to be approximately equal in both directions, no money changes hands in peering relationships. " I'm guessing that so far, Canadian ISP's and NSP's have managed to avoid paying GST (goods and services tax) on peering arrangements or individual packets pushed around. Given how the uunet article explains peering, has the Canadian govt made any noises to start taxing the internet 'service'? -Paul. -- Paul R.D.
