They exist because of the people and demand in those locations. had the demand not existed then there would be no need. > I can see a lot of benefit in having IX locally where I can run tails to > and select transit / peering from. Assuming you get a good selection of its varied infrastructure I would agree, will that happen in Brighton? Feels tough to me. And I don't see my neighbour having the ability to pull their own fibre and connecting to an exchange point - even if they had the inclination. If there was a deluge of skilled people you would see companies and investment that would generate real demand as opposed to government funded fake demand nonsense.
