I could be mistaken but I think similar circumstances were what originally led to the establishment of Telx's IXP at 60 Hudson. j On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 3:42 PM, Christopher J. Pilkington <cjp@0x1.net>wrote:
We are experiencing an issue in NYCMNY where the hosting facility's owner, a large IXC and CLEC, is being less than cooperative in allowing the ILEC delivering a private circuit to the hosting facility. They will allow ILEC to deliver the circuit elsewhere in the building, but will not provide us a cross connect to this facility. Hosting provider will however gladly use their own CLEC to provide us the service and provide cross connect to same. I have no details on whether this is contractually permitted or not.
Another circuit from a third IXC/CLEC ran into a similar problem. This carrier "resolved it" by using the hosting company's CLEC for local loop, even though third carrier has lit facilities elsewhere in said facility.
We have concerns for future issues involving the merger of a previous vendor-neutral hosting facility company and another telco provider.
Any experiences or advice, on or off list, would be helpful. Also, comments from regulatory geeks would be interesting as well.
