The recipe for prosperity? 🍲
Take one part ambitious Entrepreneurs. Add one part supportive Politics. Mix well.
You can't have one without the other if you want a framework that actually creates jobs (and lets us sleep at night).
IHK Frankfurt nailed the mix at yesterday's New Year's reception. It was a masterclass in bridging the gap between policy and practice. 🎩👏
When Innovation meets the Internet. 🤝
They are called Germany’s "Hidden Champions," but they were pretty easy to spot today at @DE-CIX!
We were incredibly proud to host the #TOP100 network (https://www.top100.de/die-macher/) under the patronage of former Federal President Christian Wulff.
It turns out, even the best innovators need good plumbing. 🛠️ We showed them how neutral interconnection isn't just cables and blinky lights—it's the secure, low-latency backbone that allows their ideas to scale.
Cloudflare says 19%. DE-CIX Chicago says "Hold my beer." 🍺📈
Cloudflare Radar just dropped their 2025 review, stating global Internet traffic grew by 19%. Impressive? Sure.
We aren't just matching the curve; we are bending it.
Check out these 2025 growth stats: 🚀 @decix Chicago: +330% (hitting 672 Gbps!) 🤠 @decix Dallas: > +75% 🍎 @decix New York: > +30% 🦅 @decix Frankfurt: ~ +15%
3 Eras? Let's make it 4. 📈
Fantastic panel at #euroix43 moderated by Greg from @Nokia on the evolution of IXPs. He perfectly framed the last few years into three eras. I’d love to add the current state of play as the fourth pillar: NaaS.
Today, it's not just about connectivity; it's about how you consume it.
* APIs & Automation
* Self-service portals
* Flexible pricing
* Additional Interconnection services
A truly insightful session on what customers are demanding right now!
Live from the UAEIX Peering Workshop! 🎙️
Full house. Big insights. Massive power.
Marco set the stage, and Abou is currently explaining why the UAE is the ultimate hub for the future of tech.
The headline? We have power in the range of Gigawatts ready for your AI and Cloud workloads. 🤯
The UAE isn't just participating in the digital future; we are hosting it: UAE-IX
The One Tera Bit Club is getting crowded! I’m proud to announce we’ve hit 75 members with the addition of IX-Denver and Frys-IX (https://www.frys-ix.net/).
While we are all pushing the boundaries of speed, Frys-IX is keeping it real with a website that is an absolute masterpiece of nostalgia. Seriously, click the link. It’s the best thing you’ll see all day.
Welcome to the club, everyone! (And thanks for the flashback, Frys-IX! 😉): https://github.com/tking/OneTeraBitClub
Spot the difference? 😜 A 400G & 800G transceiver look identical, but one has 2x the power.
We just hit a GLOBAL FIRST at @decix Frankfurt: connecting Deutsche Glasfaser via a single 800G port!
Powered by @Nokia's 800G ZR+ optics (800 Gbps on 1 wavelength), we get: 📈 Doubled bandwidth 💡 Higher efficiency 🌍 Lower energy
Provisioned in just hours. 🤯 #800G #DECIX #Interconnection #Nokia #DeutscheGlasfaser #TechMilestone
The internet as we know it can't handle the AI revolution.
I sat down with experts from Bloomberg and Nokia to talk about what needs to change - fast.
We're talking a full re-architecture focused on three key players:
🌐 Internet Exchanges
🔌 Network Vendors (like Nokia)
🏠 Datacenters
It's all about crushing latency & boosting bandwidth for AI.

That "cloud" you're using? ☁️➡️🌊
A new 50-min Arte doc is spilling the tea on our digital lives, and it’s a must-watch.
Turns out, "wireless" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves. Our world runs on very physical, very vulnerable, and very real data centers and submarine cables.
This doc explores the physical backbone of the internet and asks the terrifying question: What happens when it breaks?
Here is the video: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/120435-000-A/droht-der-digitale-blackout/
🔥 Let's talk about Chicago! 🔥
Just reviewed growth across our 7 US locations, and @decix Chicago is on another level.
Last 12 Months: 📈 Traffic: +100% (Now 369 Gbps peak!) 🤝 Networks: +20% (Now 66 connected!)
Incredible momentum. With all the #NANOG95 meetings this week, we're betting these numbers grow even more. The entire NA market is booming!
