Most of the African ISPs connect into 118th and the LINX. All the ISPs I've talked to in Egypt claim that the Cairo IX was a failed
experiment and that they haven't heard anything about it in the last two years. Which roughly corresponds with the last time I heard anyone talking about it in the present tense. But I'll defer to Joe if he has other information.
The existing Cairo IX is/was not a success for many reasons. Just FYI - There is a new IX starting up in Cairo (see http://www.gpx.ie). GPX is trying to be available for the growth in the region. I've been involved in their technical specifications so I can attest to the high level of redundancy, load capabilities and architecture. -Hank
