Hey Randy,
Yes there is more than one NAP going on so it's a similar situation
to San Fran. We have both NAPs on net and we like to say while colos
are carrier neutral we are colo neutral. Meaning you could be in
Teleplace, Switch and Data or other facilities and ride our fibre
into both NAPs as well as all the major backbones. I personally
believe there will be a good deal of backbones connecting to both
NAPs as they have different advantages. I can speak with you off
list if you want to discuss the pros and cons. Im in Miami so I
might have a more involved perspective.
