They do have backup PoPs but there has been reluctance by some carriers to connect to them. Perhaps they haven't seen the need... until now...

Hi McTim,

I don't know as I haven't been directly involved with KIXP for a number of years now. But for such a major carrier to come crying to me there must be some issues :)

Best regards,

Brian

I had thought that KIXP had a backup location in a data center in NBO
as well as the Mombasa IX, which is a separate peering mesh.  Is that
not so?
