In his remarks on the collaboration, his IXPN counterpart, Muhammed Rudman, enthused: “This partnership marks a significant step forward in our mission to domesticate Internet traffic in Nigeria and provide substantial cost savings on Internet services.
“IXPN’s robust infrastructure, combined with Layer3’s world-class solutions, will make high-speed, buffer-free streaming a reality for Netflix enthusiasts and users in Abuja and Kano.
“Netflix traffic will no longer need to traverse the long route to Lagos or beyond, resulting in reduced latency and a high-quality experience”, the industry expert assured.
Experts believe that as online content demand continues to rise, the collaboration between the two firms will enable Abuja and Kano residents to explore the vast entertainment options available on Netflix to the fullest at cost-friendly charges.
