LINX (London InterNet eXchange http://www.linx.org) has been mentioned several time on this list. And Bill Manning has also several times mentioned http://www.isi.edu/div7/ra/NAPs/ which lists exchange points for both London and Paris and several orther European cities (though not Prague). This is basic knowledge here that everyone should know. > Until that happens, nothing will change.

There are a couple of exchanges in Japan and the Phillipines people are working on an exchange but have some political stuff to work through. I suggest you give the above URL at ISI a thorough study. There is a BIG world out there beyond the borders of the USA.
