Listers,

I was  going through an article in the East African standard with the above
mentioned title by the CEO of  KIXP published on Sunday Dec  2009 in the
East African Standard, am  wondering is there a business case other than the
security considerations highlighted  that justifies the GIXP and if we could
be allowed to access it or is it classified info?, in addition the writer
has mentioned the Strengths of KIXP however i would also appreciate to know
the weaknesses since they might justify the need for GIXP bearing in mind
the fact that we are just coming out of the woods in so far as monopolies
are concerned as i try to digest the article in any case having gone through
http://www.bgp4.as/internet-exchanges it is evident there are a few
developed countries with more that one Exchange point eg South Africa , the
US, Sweden, Singapore, Russia and the UK, somebody educate me.

Regards
