CHE-HOO CHENG:

Our last speaker is Masaru Akai.

MASARU AKAI:

My name is Masaru Akai from BBIX.

This is the first time to introduce BBIX. BBIX is carrier-free IX
and any organisation that acquired global AS number in Japan is
welcome in BBIX.

And the Japanese government has adopted R value in IP Phone, so it
is important.

The IX is concentrated in Tokyo. Local ISPs exchange traffic using
IX in Tokyo or Osaka.

Traffic in the region exchanges in the region.

BBIX Tokyo has two bases, Otemachi and Nihonbashi, and you can
contact them through Equinix and BBIX. Customers collocating within
the Equinix Tokyo BBIX will be able to acquire BBIX's IX connect
service, through the Equinix Exchange service. BBIX will provide
to exchange traffic for about 5 million broadband users in Japan.

This is the yearly graph.  It shows a one-day average (refers to
slide).

These are the BBIX locations (refers to slide) - BBIXTokyo is there
and BBIX Osaka and BBIX6.

Do you have any questions?
