BEAD winners can stretch dollars with IXPs
I recently wrote a blog article over at FD-IX on how BEAD winners can stretch their dollars with Internet Exchange Points (IXPs).

When BEAD winners build new last-mile or middle-mile networks, connecting back to the global Internet is essential. Without a nearby exchange, that traffic may have to travel hundreds of miles to a major metro before reaching popular destinations like cloud providers, streaming platforms, or even local government websites. This detour adds latency, reduces performance, and increases costs.
