MAE-Phoenix info request

    > It's not a MAE. All MAE's are listed at http://www.mae.net/

...which has never stopped some other early exchanges from calling
themselves MAEs, just as there are exchanges that call themselves NAPs,
other than the NII-defined four. Not suggesting it's a good idea, just
that it's been the reality for a loooong time.

  early days, MAE was not a service mark of Worldcom nee MFS.
  folks can and did use the term to refer to this nifty thing
  that we now call an Internet Exchange.

  The MAE in Phoenix was originally constructed by Dave Siegel
  and it ran from 1996 through 1998/9.

Or companies like http://www.maedulles.net/ who aren't exchange points at
all.

and if anybody thinks phoenix still/again needs an exchange point,
i'd thank you very much for contacting me about it off-list.
