>> I think you are confused. Starnet is a wholesale dialup provider, they are >> not spammers If they're not spammers then they are (or were) spammer magnets. In the past couple of years the majority of spam complaints we've received are misdirected at us and better directed at starnetinc.com. We get the complaints because our name is on starnet.com and people draw hasty conclusions instead of digging deeper and uncovering starnetinc.com and starnetusa.com. -mark

Colo site selection
by Rich Braun 24 May '00

24 May '00

One of the more-vexing aspects of network planning and deployment is picking out space for facilities. The good ones are taken (i.e. no available rack space); many are not carrier neutral (I have to go through provisioning purgatory to add or repair a circuit); and now a new phenomenon seems to be spreading--big empty data centers getting built out at a frenetic pace, at least here in Boston, but with no one important to whom I can connect. Beancounters also make life interesting--by the time they approve the deal at $X per square foot, the vendor turns around and insists on $(X+Y) per square foot. Then the beancounter asks, with a perfectly straight face, why the price is 3x higher in Boston (or wherever) than the deal he just approved in Atlanta...ugh. I'm seeking to either commiserate with others who have to deal with this site-selection hell, or to find out some useful sources of research and contact info about useful sites whose prices aren't outrageous. My affiliation is Primus Telecomm, and this question applies to both USA and non-USA locations. -rich
