Peering allows ISPs to directly exchange traffic with each other, bypassing middlemen and creating a more efficient pathway for your data. This translates into two major benefits for ISPs: 

• Reduced costs and 
• Better user experience for their customers.

1. Keeping Costs Down

Imagine paying a toll every time your customers visit a popular website. That’s essentially what happens when ISPs rely solely on traditional transit providers to route traffic. Peering agreements allow ISPs to exchange traffic directly, eliminating these transit fees and leading to significant cost savings.

2. A Faster, More Responsive Internet

Peering creates a more direct route for data to travel between networks. This reduces latency, the time it takes for data to transfer. Lower latency means websites load faster, videos stream smoother, and online games feel more responsive. Overall, it leads to a noticeably better internet connection and improves customer experience.

3. Built-in Backup:  

A strong peering network acts like a safety net. The more ISPs your network peers with, the less reliant you are on any single provider. If a connection goes down elsewhere, peered networks can provide alternative routes, keeping your service up and running.

In today’s broadband networks, more than 50% of the traffic is available via peering with Internet Exchanges. This helps to reduce transit costs and latency. Jaze ISP Manager helps you define policies that you to take advantage of your peering networks, with the support of BNG’s, to provide a better experience for your subscribers.

The internet is rapidly growing in India. According to data from DataReportal in 2012, only 12.6% of the population had access to the internet. By 2022, that number had jumped to 48.7%. This incredible growth is due to several factors, including the availability of affordable mobile handsets and mobile internet connections.

As per projections by Statista, the trend of growth is expected to persist in the upcoming years. It is estimated that by 2028, approximately 244 million households will be connected online.

While urban areas have higher penetration rates, there remains a significant rural-urban disparity. Challenges such as infrastructure limitations, the digital divide, and cybersecurity concerns remain pressing issues. Additionally, tackling social and cultural barriers that might limit internet access for certain demographics will be essential for ensuring equitable participation in India’s booming digital landscape.

Despite these challenges, the future of internet penetration in India looks promising, with emerging technologies like 5G poised to further expand access. Continued policy support, investment in digital infrastructure, and efforts to enhance digital literacy will play crucial roles in shaping the internet landscape in India.

Broadband providers and last-mile fiber delivery is going to play a crucial role in the next phase of broadband growth in India. ISPs and telcos have a big opportunity ahead of them to serve the demand for Internet in the country.
