Bangladesh gets itself an IXP

http://www.bdix.net looks quite good to me.

Open peering, with over 10 local ISPs peering there.

What a change from the joke that is NIXI (www.nixi.org) in India ..

You can find quite a few south asian IX operators on the SANOG list -
sanog@sanog.org

And for those who are interested - SANOG 5 will be from 6-13 February,
2005, at Dhaka, Bangladesh - just about three or four days before
APRICOT 2005 starts at Kyoto.
