National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) plans to add 75 new internet exchanges this year, covering tier-2 and 3-level towns and cities to improve internet speed, save bandwidth, and boost the digital economy. In the past 20 years, NIXI has set up 77 exchanges, making this year’s goal ambitious. CEO Anil Kumar Jain said that .in is already among the top 100 ccTLD and the goal is to make it number 1, given India’s massive population. NIXI is the first registrar of websites in the world that has come up with e-KYC norms for people looking to register .in websites. The e-KYC norms are well-received across the world, and NIXI has registered about 21% growth in registration of .in ccTLD in the last year. Jain countered arguments that the NIXI’s move hinders anonymity on the internet and poses a veiled threat to freedom of speech and expression.
