I do not. But in the FCC’s Measuring Broadband America program (MBA) they have 
SamKnows measurement servers located in a few places so perhaps that is what 
they mean? See 
https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/reports/measuring-broadband-america/measuring-fixed-broadband-eighth-report
 which says “The measurement servers were hosted by M-Lab and Level 3 
Communications, and were located in ten cities across the United States near a 
point of interconnection between the ISP’s network and the network on which the 
measurement server resided.” In the newest (in process) report I believe they 
also added StackPath.

"The Bureaus required ETCs to perform speed and latency tests from the customer 
premises of an active subscriber to a remote test server located at or reached 
by passing through an FCC-designated Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and set a 
daily test period (requiring carriers to conduct tests between 6:00 p.m. and 
12:00 a.m. local time) for such tests.”

Anybody have a reference for the “FCC-designated IXPs?”  And what distinguishes 
them from the actual set of IXPs?
