But the facility Chris referenced is half-full -- at best. Not only is space plentiful, but cooling and electrical have plenty of reserve. The price still would be reasonable at a higher rate. The funny thing is, the facility is in a market so small that I doubt the DC's aggregated revenues meets L3's typical _per-customer_ minimum volume requirements. ;-) Perhaps L3 wanted the telco side of Telcove, and just plans to scuttle the IP stuff -- which has some pretty stupid "backhaul everything to ATL even though DFW is far closer" routing topology, anyhow. *shrug* Life goes on.
