The incumbent monopoly telecom operator at the time, Jambonet (owned by Telkom Kenya) filed a complaint with the Communications Commission of Kenya (equivalent to the Federal Communications Commission in the US) which ruled the peering point illegal, and KIXP was closed the same year. After a court process, it was re-opened in February, 2002 after and peering members have since increased from the initial four to its current 20 members.[2] See also
