IIRC, Albuquerque has NMIX which I think was setup as for-profit. (John

Ah thanks for that update.
You've reminded me of another point: While it is admirable that CIRA (and
probably other similar counterparts are watching) looking to establish
IXPs, my anxiety lies with the future: Given everything that's already
been written, are any of these IXPs capable of becoming self-sustaining in
the future? It's a rhetorical question applicable to any starting IXP and
requires an understanding of the local environment.
