Apart from the R&D and IPv6 aspects. What is the difference between Euro6IX
and a carrier? 

Exchange-based aggregation as described in RFC2374 does not work unless the
IXP provides (buys) upstream for all it's members. Which might not be
acceptable for many upstream providers. They might (will, I think) see this
as competition. Did you consider the competition aspects?

Kind regards, Arien
