Well I am building one, just not near MAE-East. I think that if I build one 1 mile away and had 24x7 remote hands, AC/DC, redundant fiber paths MFS and others, UPS/generator with redundant by-pass, and much more people would not move. I know that some would, but to make it work you would need to get Sprint, MCI, UUNet, and ANS to move and I think that would be hard to do. Even if you were using my model and gave Sprint, MCI, UUNet, and ANS free rack space and free gigaswitch port. > (Sigh, yes, it's true.
