BHIX = Bosnia and Herzegovina IXP = opening soon!
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Dear all, I'm happy to share the news I got from Emir Beganovic, about the BHIX (Bosnia and Herzegovina IXP) opening soon! Regards, Vesna This is what Emir Beganovic, founder of BHIX initiative, let me know: > I am glad that it is finally done after 8 years of me as a student > speaking about the idea, and then it getting traction now. In the end, as it goes, all really positive things that occurred in a a relatively short timespan: - IGF (Internet Governance Forum) meeting was held in December last year, mentioning importance of IXP (http://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/index.php?q=filedepot_download/3568…) - a really nice Minister from the Ministry of Communications & Transport understands the importance of IXP - NIC in Bosnia and Herzegovina gets selected as neutral point - three biggest providers gather together, as they have ever-growing traffic, and IXP makes sense for them - NIC managed to sign a founding Memorandum with three ISPs - 4G is finally coming to the country this year after so many unreasonable delays and law changes! Name is BHNIX, website will be available at bhnix.ba, nothing there yet except a default placeholder, but it should be a main page for all the news and statistics in future. Looking forward to see changes in the matrix at http://sg-pub.ripe.net/emile/ixp-country-jedi/latest/BA/geopath/index.html :-) Here is the official news statement in Bosnian, use Google Translate: http://www.utic.unsa.ba/2018/04/17/memorandum-o-uspostavljanju-prve-neutral… All the best, Emir
