Wireless IXP

There appears to be a dearth of information related to formulating an IXP using wireless technologies. This is not surprising given the fact that wireless technology has only recently become robust and cost effective enough to be used for local loop and backhaul activity.

There are several interesting areas around this subject in which to sink your teeth into. Wireless technology options (canopy, wimax, other), spectrum management, mast creation, salt water issues, signal propagation, privacy and security assurances, finacial models, etc.

I'll be building off of some great work that has gone on in the last 10 years regarding IXPs and extending it to include a wireless angle.
