It's a way for local ISPs to connect and exchange data without the cost of having to go through an upstream provider.
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point)
So I checked out their website "The Manitoba Internet Exchange is a not-for-profit corporation mandated to act as a junction between multiple IP networks. Its members are able to directly connect with one another over an unmetered ethernet connection, to exchange local Internet traffic. "--So I am a bit confused as to why anyone would want to do this.What is gained by this?
