MIX opens to "hosters"

Today the MIX Board of Directors relaxes the MIX admission rules, opening to the "hosters" .

Hosters are those TLC operators acting as “hosting (virtual or dedicated) services” provider or as “housing services” provider if only including access to Internet, with services supplied within its own AS and address space (e.g.: dial-up services, dedicated circuits, ADSL connections, etc.)

Thanks to this decision, MIX is now in a position more similar to that of other national and international Internet Exchanges, and answers to the requests of  an importan part of the Italian internet scenario.

The only constraint the ISPs belonging to the new category have,  is to open peering agreements with all MIX members ask them for.
