1995: the internet is still in its infancy and – as is often the case with innovations – set up in very rudimentary way. However, many countries are starting to recognise the need for more organisation and efficiency, and Belgium is leading the way. That’s why in 1995 Belnet established BNIX, the Belgian internet exchange point – a platform that has been providing efficiency, performance, and stability to the Belgian internet for 30 years now, both for its participants and for end users. In fact, even this very interview has almost certainly reached your screen via BNIX.
