IX Liverpool - An Internet Exchange for Liverpool

Britain is the world leader in e-commerce, and has every aspect to build billion pound, ten billion pound, even hundred billion pound companies. For that to happen, companies and their communities need good, affordable and reliable internet connectivity that puts them on a level playing field with competitor companies in other countries.

Local Internet exchanges help organisations and communities by improving quality, reliability and latency, and reducing dependency on other locations like London whilst allowing local users to handle traffic at a local level, giving many technological, economic and sociological benefits to society.

IXLiverpool is a new not for profit internet exchange point for Liverpool, bridging the gap between ISPs, hosting companies, and enterprises in the North West of England.

IXLiverpool makes the internet connections of users in the North of England faster, more reliable and cheaper.

Our meetup at Does Liverpool is our first meetup (sponsored by Telecoms Cloud) and we plan to make a presentation to the public about our proposals, explain what an internet exchange is, how it will benefit Liverpool and what help we need for it to happen and of course take questions from everyone.

Agenda to follow soon.
