Who would be the technical experts available to explain to a non-tech audience the technical & business model of Internet Exchange Points, including on how the European model differs from the US one?

There is a larger issue here, and that is that we have three categories of people:

- The ones that understand how Internet works, and based the world view on it

- The ones that do not understand how the Internet work, and continue to apply traditional connection oriented thinking on packet based networks

- The ones that understand how Internet works, and [because of this] continue to apply traditional connection oriented thinking on packet based networks
