We are starting an Exchange in Winnipeg. No lobbying, just a group of small ISPs starting the ball rolling.

How do we increase the number of exchanges in Canada?
I’m in Vancouver, makes sense to me that there should be one or two out this way. Who do we lobby to make this kind of thing happen?

You are absolutely right Paul and thanks for holding me accountable for using a little poetic licence!

“Other nations around the globe have up to hundreds of Internet exchanges.”

Just wanted to comment on that particular statement – not accurate at all. There are approximately 300 Internet Exchange points in the world – not “up to” hundreds per country.

IX’s definately are a huge benefit to those providers who participate in them – out of the approximately 300 or so, there are a dozen or less *really* large exchange points of which in Canada, TorIX is the largest definately.

There are several providers in Canada who refuse to participate in IX’s such as TorIX/Ottix due to internal “policies”. Most other providers embrace the concept and take advantage of these exchange points and their benefits.
