 Internet Exchange Point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Internet exchange point (IX or IXP) is a physical infrastructure that allows different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to exchange Internet traffic between their networks (autonomous systems) by means of mutual peering agreements, which allow traffic to be exchanged without cost.
Traffic passing through an exchange is typically not billed by any party, whereas traffic to an ISP's upstream provider is. The direct interconnection, often in the same city as both networks are located, often avoids data having to travel to other cities (potentially other continents) to get from one network to another.
At the more expensive exchanges, participants pay a monthly fee, usually determined by the speed of the port or ports which they're using, or much less commonly by the volume of traffic which they're passing across the exchange, though that's unpopular because it provides a counterincentive to growth of the exchange.

Tanzania is particularly well-known for its game parks, beaches and coral reefs, Arab architecture, and volcanic peaks such as snow-topped Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, as well as its wide range of natural scenery from lush tropical jungle to semi desert.
Tanzania boasts a range of high quality tavel accommodation, ranging from five star hotels and game lodges, to rustic bed and breakfasts and backpacker lodges.
While Tanzania does not have a reputation as a high crime area, tourists can generally avoid problems by taking simple precautions such as locking car doors when driving, avoiding unsalubrious areas and keeping their wits and possessions about them when out walking.

 IICD - International Institute for Communication and Development - Exchanging local traffic locally   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
It ran from 23-25 April and was meant to sensitise the Tanzanian ISP community to the benefits and technology behind Internet Exchange Points (IXP).
By exchanging local traffic locally, ISPs are expected to reduce the significant network latency due to the multiple satellite hops, and therefore to improve the quality of service and reduce costs.
The exchange will also “encourage more Tanzanian ownership of the Internet, increased productivity based on the use of the Internet and create a more efficient medium of getting and sharing useful information with fellow Tanzanians and the wider audience,” he continued.

 2060. The Macroeconomics of Delayed Exchange-Rate Unification: Theory and Evidence from Tanzania   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
That period stretched from the adoption of exchange controls to macroeconomic collapse and then to subsequent reforms in the mid- to late 1980s.
A reduced-form econometric equation (of a Dornbusch stock-flow model type) indicates that both trade and financial portfolio factors were important in determining the parallel premium, with trade determinants dominating in the long run, as theory suggests.
So, contrary to conventional advice often given in Africa and elsewhere, the case of Tanzania suggests that from a fiscal viewpoint there was no economic rationale for gradualism in exchange-rate unification and delay of a move toward convertibility.

 IICD - International Institute for Communication and Development - Faster Internet through Internet Exchange Point for ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Tanzanian Internet users whose Internet Services Providers are peering at the newly launched Tanzania Internet Exchange (TIX) Point are said to be enjoying an upto 60-times faster access to local content, this is according to Suhail Sheriff, the Interim Chairman of the Tanzania Internet Service Providers Association (TISPA).
Mr Sangiwa said security is taken care by the peering ISPs who are responsible for their own networks and all the exchange does is connect them to each other using the shortest route possible so that the consumers enjoy the best possible Internet experience.
Being a multi-stakeholder initiative, the exchange point bares checks and balances on technical and operational issues and resembles the establishment of a Tanzanian internet – a network that connects various ISPs who did not have a direct connection to each other before.
