[arin-discuss] fee waivers

[Martin Hannigan]

But why for an IX? Nothing is free. Your members are all commercial
entities, not non profits. Why can't they cough up a percentage of the fee?
Looks like $100 per year per member Why should the rest of us subsidize your
traffic exchange? It should be cheap, but free and then asking us to go
along with a waiver for your space? I don't think that is reasonable.

Do you have traffic stats publicly available for the IX?

BTW: You have 0 members in peeringdb. You may want to fix that by having all
of your peers register. That is free.

Best,
