In Visakhapatnam, the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) will establish an "Internet Exchange." This Internet exchange will be established in January 2023, and its location will be finalized soon. According to BJP MP GVL Narashima Rao, this internet exchange will benefit the Visakhapatnam IT industry and attract more IT firms to set up offices in the City of Destiny.
The exchange is only the ninth in the country to be established by NIXI under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The primary goal of such an exchange is to promote efficient internet usage throughout the country. Apart from the IT sector, it would benefit the finance and service sectors as well.
An internet exchange would increase internet speed while minimizing interruptions. This would also reduce internet costs by 30 to 40%.
