History

Planning for INEX started in 1996 and it became operational in May 1997 with the backing of its four founding members; EUnet Ireland, HEAnet, Indigo and Telecom Internet with the objective of locally exchanging IP traffic between Irish based ISPs, rather than using an external exchange or transit providers. As of August 2008, the company had 37 full members and 13 associate members.
