Multi-stakeholder Collaboration is Critical:
In the State of Qatar we are planning to adopt a strategy to support the deployment of IXPs which consists of three elements:
(1) Organizing awareness sessions/workshops for the stakeholders involved, the targeted stakeholders are government organizations, academia, telecom operators and ISP executives, technical experts, and others, to examine the Regulatory, political, and technical issues surrounding IXP deployment;
(2) Assisting neutral nonprofit associations in their efforts to establish IXPs (e.g. Universities Network, National Libraries,etc.)
(3) Facilitate the removal of any legal/regulatory/policy obstacles to the deployment of IXPs
