The IX is secondary (and I don’t anticipate a fast start or a lot of traffic, especially not when comparing to other regional IXs).
The DX is the primary driver to help kickstart tech businesses and give them a central focal point for innovation / etc … this is one small part of a much larger initiative The distinct lack of high speed internet has been a problem for a long time, the quality of life is there but the last mile is awful and not “fit for business” use FTTC is starting to appear but too little too late … hopefully the BDX will act as catalyst, mixed in with other initiatives, to help tech companies start and to grow whist not being dependent on London for the basics. I guess we’ll measure the success as to whether or not the BDX is still going in 3 years time as whilst it is a co-operative, it does have to be self funding so we need members to join either the IX or the DX or both J > On 24 Mar 2015, at 23:00, Neil J.
