Netnod and NIX sign Memorandum of Understanding
Internet Exchange Point provider Netnod and Norway's NIX have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for technical and commercial cooperation.
Swedish Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and DNS services provider Netnod has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Norway's NIX. The agreement outlines technical and commercial cooperation between the two organizations.
Netnod CEO Kurt Erik Lindqvist stated that the MoU highlights the Nordic region's integrated market and the need for unified peering alternatives. The collaboration is expected to offer valuable insights for both parties in developing IXP services for the future.
Lindqvist described the Internet industry's shift towards maturing markets where product portfolio, price, and brand recognition are becoming increasingly important factors. Netnod is updating its strategy to address these changes and is conducting customer surveys to better understand customer needs and the company's market position.
The company is also investing in network infrastructure, including support for 100 Gbps connections, and developing its DNS services. Netnod has also expanded its organization over the past year, hiring eight new staff members to support growth and customer service standards.
