According to MyIX’s statement, its mission as an internet exchange is to enhance Malaysia’s internet infrastructure by empowering members to exchange traffic with each other, to “keep internet traffic local” and to optimise network performance. In response to the growing demand, the MyIX Committee has decided to reduce its port pricing to offer more benefits to its members.
