Hi, I don’t recall this being communicated, I know a few people who attend NZNOG (some APNIC members some not) but work in the general ISP / Telco Community and associated fields, that would like to attend if the price was reasonable…. (People who have attended past NZNOG’s).
Seems a real shame that NZNOG is in Auckland for once, and actually half the people won’t go because $$$$…. fail. Also I found that NZNOG has a really good social / networking element to it, (as well as good content), you get to meet other people who you otherwise wouldn’t, I suspect with the pricing its going to attract a different more corporate crowd which is a shame :( My 2c.
