It sure sounds like a good idea. Buy, sell, or swap, bandwidth capacity. If your network is congested simply buy some additional capacity from supplier who isn’t so busy, and vice versa.
The exchange would let telephone networks, mobile operators, satellite providers and other telecommunications companies trade capacity on their systems. Network operators spotting potential bottlenecks could buy extra capacity, ensuring the smooth functioning of phone services, cellphone networks, the Internet and other communications links. Those with excess capacity could sell bandwidth, helping to limit the financial losses that occur when networks sit idle.
