In NJ, Verizon, MFS, and Telcove all install batteries.
We put them on our UPS and Genset anyway, however.
The corollary to this question: If your data center has an adequate DC plant, will the carriers insist on installing their own batteries and rectifiers? And how many of them have redundant supplies to take advantage of an A and B feed from you? Typically, because they're the phone company, if you offer them DC, they'll insist on AC. If ou offer them AC, they'll want DC. And it seems that wherever you want the MPOE/drop they'll have some reason to install it as far away as possible. :-) -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Administration - jay@west.net WestNet: Connecting you to the planet. 805 884-6323 WB6RDV NetLojix Communications, Inc. - http://www.netlojix.com/
