hi, Either that or start paying member fees to the UIXP to make > this intrinsically viable to the same.
how possible is this? to have IXP members fork out a small fee every month? it may assist in getting a number of things at the IXP sorted out. Or may be, have it run by a team of folks who bid for its maintenance... Once we have more private firms start connecting to the IXP (as URA desires to) there is bound to be more work at the IXP and a better management system. Soon the GOVT, having run their own fibre and setting up their own network may want to plug into the IXP. should the cable finally get to UG from the coast of Mombasa, i would think it plugging into the IXP gives all the ISPs a central communication point. may be im thinking ahead of our times or envisioning something that our IXP is not ready for, but this is a path that we shall walk down soon....very soon. question that has always puzzled me is, 'how is the IXp currently run? who runs it? who funds it? what happens when the funds run out or the funder bails out?' Regards, -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
