If an IXP decides to offer infrastructural services then you have to buy
upstream of course.

At least each IXP member would have direct connectivity to such
infrastructural services (DNS, NTP, WHOIS, NNTP??) and thereby their
customers would benefit from it.

And an IXP should be in a good position to get upstream :-)) And for
the commercials: these services are not for free of course. So bills
for IXP members will drop not raise.
