Hadn't heard of the "Commercial Internet Exchange". Looked 'em up: Commercial Internet eXchange Association

Member list is fairly impressive: @Home, Cable&Wireless, AT&T, British Telecom, UUNET, Verio, etc. Looks like some kind of lobbying group (out of "Spookville", aka Herndon, VA) for a large number of the Internetworking players, per this comment: ...Together, the membership may develop consensus positions on legislative and policy issues of mutual interest
