I am not trying to defend myself here, everyone is entitled to their =20
opinion on which IX model works better than another, but it might be =20
worth pointing something out in the history of Netnod. Because of the =20=
fiber monopoly in Stockholm, that pre-dates the estblishment of any =20
neutral co-lo, the Swedish operators built their own datacenters. =20
Therefor, when NEtnod was established, there simply was no single =20
point where the operators could have established the switches. This =20
was *one* of the reasons the bunkers where chosen.
