I am looking for some guidance from the list. We will soon be deploying
wireless payment devices (CDMA/GSM). We are looking at options on where to
locate the servers that will run the backend payment gateways; we would lik=
e
the least amount of latency between the servers and the wireless networks a=
s
possible. The wireless networks we will be deploying the devices on are:
AT&T Wireless
Verizon Wireless
Sprint PCS
Rogers Wireless
Bell Mobility
Telus Mobility
Vodafone
I was thinking we have a few options, to try and peer with the wireless
networks directly, buy bandwidth from networks that are directly peered wit=

the wireless operators or the Global Roaming Exchange Peering service that
Equinix runs but I have not been able to find out much more then what is on
Equinix=92s public web site. We also have a need to peer with PayPal and
Amazon. I welcome the lists comments and recommendations.
