Well if you don't want to send all that money to Dave, I will do it for
$2000. You only need 30 days of experience, and it will be signed
and everything. :-)

What's wrong with the current method?:

1) Purchase 1 or more routers (your choice of mfgr., model, config)
2) Establish peering at one or more NAPs/MAEs with more than 10 peers
including at least two backbone providers
3) If at the end of six months you
a) still have the same set of initial peers
and
b) have received one or more requests for peering which you
have accepted

4) Then you are a CIE. :-)
