Interestingly the AMS-IX is also the peering point for (nearly*) all the GSM roaming mobile data of the world. I wouldn't think this adds too many gigabytes, but it shows how successful they are with their niche-cutting.

I wonder if the exchange benefits from certain New Zealand carriers who charge $30NZD/megabyte for said roaming mobile data. Quite a racket. -JB
