Kicking off DE-CIX New York 10-year anniversary celebrations! 🗽 Stay tuned for more #IX that never sleeps content in the coming months as we look back to the achievements and forward to a future of #innovation and success!
I don't know if he's right or not but I am having lunch with some Missouri legislators tomorrow to discuss the "CN Problem". Hopefully Missouri can prevent what happened in Kansas.

Peering is best when it's local or regional. Gatherings like the New England Peering Forum (@PeeringForumNE) and the Midwest Peering Summit are essential to building strong, community based peering ecosystems.
We’re deciding the future of @PeeringForumNE. Do we really need it? It fun, but expensive. Feedback was always good, but sponsor benefits have been tough to correlate. #peering #boston #newengland

Nope! I’ve thought about this #IXP at @WichitaState a few times. It’s a complete waste of time. A boondoggle. A spendthrift for all the non-Kansas-based companies raking in the taxpayers bucks. No other state has ever needed to do this. Hey @GovLauraKelly - stop this madness now.
Find out why an IXP planned for @WichitaState represents a large digital leap for #Kansas residents and businesses | FULL STORY: bbcmag.com/ixp-planned-for-w…
Aw. But we love the guys at #SFMIX.
That’s it, it’s official! #SuperBowlLVIII is on! It’s @sfmix vs @kcixnet on Sunday February 11 at 3:30pm Pacific (22:30 UTC). May the best IXP win!
1530 Swift has become our largest node in a very short time. Thank you to all the facilities that host us and contribute to peering in the Kansas City region.

Hey @kcixnet - you may want to point out the folly of this to the good folks in Kansas. What a massive waste of money. nitter.cf/newbyventures/status/1…

The fiber cut affecting transport between Springfield and Kansas City has been repaired. If you have any further issues, please let us know.
The SpringIX issues are related to a major fiber cut in the Springfield area. This is affecting connectivity between Springfield and Kansas City. Local peering in Springfield is unaffected.
