[Afpif] Transit vs. peering Focust for Africa by 2021

[Anibe Onuche]

Hello all.

80% locally accessing would mean a lot of work.
Most content meant for the local internet ecosystem are hosted outside 
the shores of the country :-(   .
Local traffic is been imported into the country.

I am of the opinion that African IXPs should work in tandem with 
organizations ( e.g ISOC ) ,  Government and  stakeholders to host 
content locally with the ISPs.
ISPs should come together and form alliances where the challenges of the 
industries are looked into with a view of reducing such challenges and 
obstacles.
The resultant effect to local content can be rewarding to the local IXP 
, ISPs and Government.
It would be nice to generate local traffic rather that getting such from 
the global internet.
  Possibly then,   we might start exporting such local traffic outside.

A very good example is the Local Internet Content Forum (LICF). Website  
http://licf.ng .  I won't go further because I am afraid of breaching 
policies regarding "advertisement" on the mailing list.


Regards.
Anibe Onuche.
