When Internet exchange points (#IXPs) keep traffic local, costs fall while speed and reliability increase.
In 40 out of 50 countries we analyzed, the share of income needed to afford basic mobile broadband fell by more than 10% after receiving a grant from the Internet Society Foundation for IXP development or local peering ecosystem support. In several countries, the improvement is far larger, suggesting substantial shifts in affordability over time.
