LISPA IX ( Lanka Internet Service Provider's Association - IX) is authorised by TRC to provide such service in Srilanka. LISPA IX is located in lankacom premises. In addition to that, few ISPs have direct link with some other local ISPs for exchanging their own local traffic. ( Eg: Dialog - SLT direct peering link is used when a dialog customer accessing slt.lk and vice versa. Other ISPs use LISPA IX for the same purpose. This connectivity is not used for any international traffic. But there are some cases, a local ISP provide international access to another local ISP. This service is called "transit service". Eg SLT provides to lankacom, Dialog to Tigo, Lankacom to Tigo etc. But most of the Lankan ISPs have direct connectivity with other international ISPs for international traffic Lankacom - SingtelSuntel -  VSNL LankaTigo - Lankacom, DialogDialog - France Telecom, Sprint UK, Verizon Europe, Verizon Asia, Cable and Wireless, Telekom Malaysia, Datahop UK. Intelsat ( Satellite) , Newskies ( Sarellite) Slt - Deutsche Telecom. NTT, Bharti BT ( India) Therefore, don't think that SLT provides internet connectivity to all other local ISPs. SLT calls that direct peering with other ISPs ( for local traffic) as SLT IX ( SLT Internet Exchange) and invites other ISPs to connect directly with them. Both ISPs ( SLT and the other local ISP) share 50:50 cost of these local peering links. Dialog - SLT has such links while many other ISPs use LISPA IX for echanging local traffic.</blockquote>
