Domain name in Devanagiri is possible soon
BANGALORE, INDIA: The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) is a government \
agency that facilitates exchange of domestic Internet traffic between the peering \
ISPs. Its CEO Govind in an interaction with CIOL speaks on department's roadmap for \
2015, IPv6 upgrade and www.registry.in programme.
CIOL: What is the domestic Internet scenario in India? What are the steps that you \
are taking to safeguard small ISPs vis-a-vis large ISPs?
Govind: The domestic Internet scenario in India is unique with several large and \
small ISPs spread across a large geographical area. NIXI is a not-for-profit \
organization under Section 25 of the Companies Act 1956. NIXI is managed and operated \
on a neutral basis, in line with the best practices for such initiatives globally. \
Presently, NIXI has 7 nodes operating in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, \
Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Equipment have also been deployed at three more nodes at \
Lucknow & Mohali (Chandigarh), Guwahati but ISPs are yet to start peering at these \
nodes. At the end of Nov 2011, there were around 164 operational ISPs, out of which \
59 were category ‘A’, 58 were category ‘B’ and 47 were category ‘C’. By and large, \
category ‘A’ ISPs are connected at 4 metro cities only. Very few ISPs are connected \
at the nodes in state capitals other than metros. The Routing and Tariff Policy of \
NIXI attempts at addressing the concerns of the large as well as the small ISPs at \
the same time keeping the larger national interest in mind by promoting domestic \
hosting of content as well as saving foreign exchange by keeping domestic traffic \
within India.
CIOL: With increasing Internet traffic, what's your roadmap for 2015?
Govind: To increase the quantum of traffic exchanged from the present 13 Gbps to 100 \
Gbps by the year 2015. What is safe Surfing Campaign for school kids? What are your \
expectations from this program? Safe Surfing campaign was done by IAMAI in \
association with NIXI. The project started on July 25, 2009 and was completed on Feb \
4, 2010. The campaign was focused on students of sixth standard and above spreading \
awareness about Internet, presentation on safe surfing habits, positive offerings of \
the Internet as a tool for education and knowledge and Do’s and Don'ts of Internet \
usage. Some of our key achievements include:
Total 2.5 lakh students and 180 schools were covered.
Increased Internet awareness.
Establishment of 6 Internet training centres with IAMAI during the campaign.
