NetNod is successful. Very is a matter of opinion. As for "operate
from more than sweden", that is trivial to confirm by looking at their
member list.
So now that we have agreed, did you have a point, or just want to run

Wow, Randy, we are in agreement again.
To be clear, are you suggesting IXPs consider hiding their switches,
forcing you to use a single fiber providers, not allowing anyone to
know the path, etc.? I want to be sure I understand what you mean,
since "engineers" like to make serious points, not flippant sound bites.
