It is a joint project of Philippine Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to interconnect through a common backbone or Internet Exchange Point (IX) for efficient infrastructure. {{as of|2006}} it was interconnecting eight (8) ISPs namely: Evoserve, Infocom, IPhil, Moscom, Pacific Internet, Tridel, Virtualink, and WorldTel in exchanging local Internet traffic and G-Net, Globe Telecom’s ISP, was in the process of joining the Philippine Internet eXchange.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}}HistoryThe idea to connect all the Internet Service Providers in the Philippines was first suggested in mid-1995 during the Internet Society (ISOC)-sponsored Internet Workshop held in Hawaii. Uniting competing ISPs posed a difficulty even though the benefits of an IX were obvious. In August 1995, exploratory discussions started within PLDT on the setting-up of the infrastructure for an Internet hub. In May 1996 it was decided to proceed with the network access point project, called Philippine Internet eXchange (PhIX). PhIX pilot operations started in January 1997. On 29 October 1996, PLDT formally presented its PhIX project to the 15 local ISPs which have their own gateway connections to other countries. Of the 15 ISPs who attended PLDT's presentation, the 5 largest ISPs signified their intention to join the PhIX project by signing the Multi-Lateral Peering Agreement on 19 November 1996, namely: Infocom, IPhil, Moscom, Virtualink and WorldTel Phil. The pilot operation of the PhIX was started in January 1997 and was completed in June 1997, and since then the 5 pioneering ISPs have successfully been exchanging Philippine-Centric New World Hotel on July 3, 1997. Objectives
UpdatesG-Net to Join PhIXGlobe Telecom’s Internet Service Provider (ISP), G-Net, is in the process of joining the Philippine Internet eXchange. Globe Telecom is a member of the Ayala Group of companies. G-Net is one of its services. G-Net would be peering via an E1 connection. Tridel and Moscom Upgrades BandwidthMember ISPs are seeing the benefit of exchanging local Internet traffic. Due to the increase in usage of the Philippine Internet eXchange service, Tridel Technologies upgraded its bandwidth to 512 kbit/s from a 64 kbit/s leased line. Meanwhile, Moscom Internet is in the process of upgrading its connection to E1. See also
