Nice. Better internet for SA. Let's just hope there's enough interest.

Qualified ?

What does this mean

I read

All ISPs in Durban, not just ISPA members, will be able to peer with DINX.


Please clarify ........

Qualified ? What does this mean

I think in this context it just means "any company with a track record of operating a hosting environment capable of supporting an Internet exchange".

All ISPs in Durban, not just ISPA members, will be able to peer with DINX.
Please clarify ........

ISPA's rules for the INXes were changed a while ago so that an ISP now doesn't have to be an ISPA member in order to connect to one of the ISPA-run INXes. (Before 2009, only ISPA members could use the exchanges.)

The HOST must be qualified, not the connectees.

Cable? You some big-assed undersea cables just up the coast... and fibres aplenty from all directions.

ISPA does not sell/deal in international bandwidth.
