[NNagain] The Whys of the Wichita IXP Project

[Dave Taht]

Who can fund more IXPs? The internet society has a 50k set-asied.

>From a friend in the NTIA:

"The NTIA middle mile program was a one-time authorization from
Congress. All allocated funds have been assigned to grantees. Some
states may, if funding allows, decide to fund middle mile projects
from their BEAD allocation, but this is a lower priority compared to
last-mile projects."

What I (presently) see out of BEAD is all this end-user fiber, missing
anchor tenants, and gpon, and cluelessness about IPvX, making
interconnectivity more difficult.

There was a pretty good AMA with utopia fiber in Utah yesterday. They
at least are using active-e fiber, and are well connected to a IXP
there.
