Expanding the number of internet exchange points<\/a> across the United States is essential to developing greater digital resilience. The amount of IXPs \u2013 the physical locations where providers and network operators exchange traffic \u2013 directly correlate to the amount of latency in a network. More IXPs drive lower network costs. This is especially important for the economic development<\/a> of rural areas, which are often the farthest from IXPs. Further, of the 630 registered IXPs in the world, only 126 of them<\/a> are based in North America. Additionally, the need for more resilience within the network highlights a clear opportunity: BEAD funding that may be better served in this critical portion of the network. In the lead-up to the Resilient Digital Infrastructure Summit on Sept. 18, 2025<\/a>, this panel will consider the vital role of IXPs in resilience and connectivity.<\/p>\n
