Internet Exchange Points: An Essential Infrastructure for Rural Broadband Initiatives
Categories RENS & NRENS Equity & Access
IXPs are one of the building blocks around which the Internet is built. They are the physical locations where networks come together, and where content providers place content closer to end users to increase the speed and efficiency of networks. Currently, there are dozens of IXPs nationwide but most of them are concentrated in big cities. Increasing the number of IXPs across California will result in a more resilient, competitive, and interconnected Internet (especially for households in more rural areas).
