What are these Internet Exchange points you talk of...


Internet Exchanges started popping up to meet growth
challenges identified around 1990

This is not 2001.  The Internet does not work as a result of
the 'invisible hand' of the legacy telco carriers.

Internet Exchanges are critical to the good functioning of
the Internet.

They are locations/infrastructure which encourages traffic
exchange.
