Hmm, so maybe I'm just a maverick, we are not using any public peering fabrics at minute due to what can only be described as a senior management cluster foook [1], so on peeringdb we list some pops that we are in that we are willing (and do) have private peering sessions in. It doesn't say on peeringdb that there are IX's in some of these PoPs but hopefully when we need to establish a private interconnect with someone they will see we are in the same PoP as them even though there is no IX in that PoP and put 2 and 2 together, and contact us to discuss a cross connect.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not trying to poo poo the site, just trying to work out where the different is feature set lies exactly.

Cheers,
James.
