The company's CEO, LM Jobäck, talks about the investment that is part of their main mission; to further develop the central hubs in Sweden's part of the Internet in a neutral and independent way. Netnod Internet Exchange i Sverige AB is a wholly owned company of the Foundation for Telematics Development. The foundation was created in 1997 when the major players in the market saw a gain with an independent player whose sole purpose is to drive the development of the Internet forward. Netnods four legs • operation and development of national hubs for traffic exchange between Internet operators • accurate timing over the Internet • operation of domain name servers (currently about 70 across the Nordic region) • high-speed connections between data halls (10 Gbit / s and up) Netnod has chosen to connect additional fiber connections between Stockholm's largest data halls via Stokab's network in order to create even more robust and more stable internet connections. This is how LM Jogbäck, CEO of Netnod, responds with experience of, among other things, Stokab's counterpart in Zurich, about the challenges Sweden faces: - The supply of black fiber is good in Stockholm. But Sweden needs an even finer mesh network of fiber across the country to ensure redundancy so that an individual interruption has as little impact as possible. – Stadsnät som äger sitt fibernät men också levererar tjänster, dvs belyser nätet, gör i praktiken ett teknikval åt sin kund, vilket är hämmande för teknikutvecklingen. Fördel med samordning Många länder som byggt sina nät i närtid har haft möjlighet att investera i ny teknik och nya standarder. Sverige ligger exempelvis efter Zimbawe vad gäller användandet av senaste IP-protokollet (IPv6). Men Sverige har en stor fördel gentemot andra länder; vårt demokratiska samhälle. – Samordning av infrastruktur kommer att vara ett lands framgångssaga. El, vatten, transport och fiber har allt att vinna på en samordning, för att minska ett lands sårbarhet vad gäller alla fyra nätverken. - With the right rules and laws created by a comprehensive body - in Sweden's case PTS and MSB - the market itself will contribute to the development of existing solutions. Creating parallel networks will only take resources from the existing in the form of manpower, redundancy, robustness, capital, skills, customers, etc. In conclusion, LM Jogbäck comments on the future prospects as follows: - If Sweden continues to give neutral players like ourselves and Stokab responsibility for the country's IT infrastructure, the future looks bright; our purpose is only to create even better conditions for digital communication. Then it is up to the operators to develop the market through competition, standardize their services and adopt technology shifts.
