for the non-Stockholm locations that is not true. As a matter of fact, =20=
you will have to get your own fibers to Netnod there. As for co-lo of =20=
equipment, not as easy as in a neutral co-location. As for visits, why =20=
would you need to?
As for fibers, Stockholm has a fiber monopoloy run by the city of =20
Stockholm. So you would have to buy fibers from that monopoloy in any =20=
case.
