Caveat: pure ignorance in the process of being mitigated at work in the comments below.

I can see this initiative helping a situation like ours. As a non-transit peer to our ISPs, we certainly do not qualify as an IXP in the traditional sense. But we do have a potential impact on our peers as well as a possible impact on the community at large, thus some education would be beneficial (education almost always is not not beneficial...). We do have an opportunity as an anchor institution to become a non-traditional IXP by fronting Internet service to downstream partners via a unique model used by our non-traditional ISP. So, my point is if any initiative strives to provide education, I am in support of it. Especially, it has my support if it helps to build out Internet access for both partner institutions looking to bolster their access, as well as potentially allowing for underprivileged community members to gain access via unique connectivity infrastructures.



HaPpY NeW YeaR!
