Who can fund more IXPs? The internet society has a 50k set-asied. From a friend in the NTIA:
"The NTIA middle mile program was a one-time authorization from Congress. All allocated funds have been assigned to grantees. Some states may, if funding allows, decide to fund middle mile projects from their BEAD allocation, but this is a lower priority compared to last-mile projects." What I (presently) see out of BEAD is all this end-user fiber, missing anchor tenants, and gpon, and cluelessness about IPvX, making interconnectivity more difficult. There was a pretty good AMA with utopia fiber in Utah yesterday. They at least are using active-e fiber, and are well connected to a IXP there. https://www.broadband.io/c/get-broadband-grant-alerts-news/credit-kim-mckinley-with-making-open-access-and-community-broadband-cool On Sat, Feb 24, 2024 at 7:05 AM Fearghas Mckay via Nnagain <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On 22 Feb 2024, at 18:58, rjmcmahon via Nnagain > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Boston University spent $305M on this and it doesn't have an IXP. > > > There are two well established distinct IX in the metro already - why would > you need a third that is not at an interconnection site ? > > Boston IX > Mass IX > > f > > _______________________________________________ > Nnagain mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/nnagain -- https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/2024_predictions/ Dave Täht CSO, LibreQos _______________________________________________ Nnagain mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/nnagain
