LINX has published the latest edition of its membership magazine, HotLINX, the final issue in its current design. The lead story is an ‘In the Spotlight’ special with an interview with Dr Philip Smith, the man who installed LINX’s very first rack.
In August Dr Philip Smith travelled to the UK from Australia to speak at LINX98, and to run a specialist workshop on BGP. We ask Philip about the early days of LINX and his work with IXPs in Asia and Africa today. Read Philip’s insightful views on the industry on pages 10 and 11 of the following link.Download HotLINX51

Also in our LINX News section we have the detail behind LINX’s price cuts at IXManchester and of a new PoP for IXScotland. There is also a page dedicated to LINX activities in North America.
