Actually I know there was something of an IX starting down there
about 1999. I believe it was in the small cellular companies
facility. One of the guys from Netrail, Nathan Estes, went down to
help them out for a week. The name escapes me but perhaps he could
post it here if he recalls the details.
At the time they had about 6 muxed T1s if I remember and were looking
at either bringing in a tier1 or getting a DS3 back to the states.
