Are there any common locations in Alaska where multiple local ISPs exchange traffic, either transit or peering?  Or is Seattle the closest exchange point for Alaska ISPs?
PCH doesn't know of any.  If any exist, we'd very much like to hear about it.  Vancouver BC may technically be closer than Seattle, but that's not a significant answer.

Take with grain of salt , ...
