Hats off to Jay and Bill and the entire TEAM at EQIX.
As a soon to be customer (times 2), a shareholder and a fan, I'm most
happy to hear about this deal..
All the work Bill Norton has done on peering and IX issues, the costs
in travel and time away from family and home I think have paid EQIX well.
As a shareholder I support those continued activities.
In other news. EQIX President is named to the BOD of Sphera a maker
of webhosting managment software.
