Hi Dr Paulos,

I think it is a good thing if an IXP can sustain itself financially.
As it happens, many value-adding services at an IXP come with hardware 
components, and even getting these [possibly donations] out of customs 
costs money.

TIX in Dar, TZ:
Fees are as in:
https://www.tix.or.tz/tix_mou.pdf page 2
+------------------------+--------------+-----------+
| Annual Port fees (USD) | TISPA member | Non-member|
+------------------------+--------------+-----------+
|10/100/1000 BASE-T      |              |           |
|1000BASE-xX             | 3,500.-      | 4,000.-   |
+------------------------+--------------+-----------+
|Additional port         |              |           |
|1000BASE-x              | 1,200.-      | 1,700.-   |
+------------------------+--------------+-----------+
|10GBASE-xR              | 5,500.-      | 6,000.-   |
+------------------------+--------------+-----------+
|Additional port         |              |           |
|10GBASE-xR              | 4,125.-      | 4,625.-   |
+------------------------+--------------+-----------+

First: note these are ANNUAL fees.
[monthly invoicing and payments would increase the admin overhead...]
The fees are in my opinion relatively high. It helps support an office, 
staff, other activities, and support for events (like SAFNOG).

NB: TISPA membership is USD 500.- annually.

What do others think  experience?

Frank
