I to join in, I want to publicly congrat Jay and the rest. There
were a lot of people throwing FUD around, nowadays it's too easy to
be negative and very counterproductive to growth and deployment.
Equinix is obviously here to stay and a safe place to do peering and
interconnections. While it's slighly off topic, I think there are
always negative posts on the list and it's important to also exchange
information when there is a positive light on something.
Perhaps Paul is right, and these stable peering locations will be the
foundation in rebuilding growth in the networking industry.
