Hi Arturo,
Good call. I believe the funds are coming from the USF? (Mike Hammet knows more about this than me). I had conversations with multiple congressional staffers about using USF funds for IXP development. They're in for good projects. The USG and US congress is more than willing to fund IXPs using USF funds. Commercial or otherwise, depending on the bnenefits and commits.
Hi Martin I'm curious about the mechanism for funding such a thing. Historically the majority of USF funds have gone to telcos rather than ISPs, if I am not mistaken. I'd love to continue this discussion off list if necessary. -- Jeremy Austin (907) 895-2311 office (907) 803-5422 cell jhaustin@gmail.com Heritage NetWorks Whitestone Power & Communications Vertical Broadband, LLC
