AMS-IX and TELEHOUSE'S NYIIX & LAIIX to Work Together21 December 2005
TELEHOUSE
International Corporation of America, the leading provider of high-level
international Internet exchanges, data center and collocation facilities,
and business continuity and disaster recovery solutions; and The Amsterdam
Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), the leading European neutral, non-profit
Internet exchange providing high-quality peering services, announce a
mutual agreement that establishes a working relationship between the two
organizations' exchanges.
The arrangement brings together the cultures and memberships of the AMS-IX
exchange, located in Amsterdam and TELEHOUSE's NYIIX and LAIIX exchanges,
located in New York and Los Angeles respectively. The exchanges will expand
their existing reach internationally via a variety of joint initiatives.
Additionally AMS-IX and TELEHOUSE will explore new channels, enabling
members to swap information in areas, such as technology, trends, and
services, while opening up new opportunities to respective members in both
countries.
TELEHOUSE and AMS-IX recently collaborated on Neustar's launch of their
SIP-IX initiative, the first comprehensive suite of services designed to
enable direct network-to-network peering between trading partners using
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based technologies such as IP multimedia
(IMS) and VoIP.

"This arrangement with AMS-IX is a logical extension of our VoIP peering
efforts," said Masahiro Furuya, president and CEO of TELEHOUSE. "And we are
most pleased to be working with an organization that is so well respected
within the European and global IX community."
Job Witteman, AMS-IX CEO, said: "This initiative with TELEHOUSE will enable
additional access to two main US peering markets namely NY and LA for our
connected members. On top of it we can stimulate value-added services, like
SIP-IX, for the participants of all exchanges at a larger and higher
scale."
