The thing about a carrier hotel is that it cannot be a secret location since you need to allow various carriers and ISPs to have physical access to the building so they can install/manage their servers/routers/switches.
The advantage of this swedish data centre is that even if its location is well known, it is pretty hard to harm the building. You can't run a truck full of explosives into it for instance.
Unfortunately, you also cannot run your own fiber there, colo equipment there, visit it for any reason, etc.
for the non-Stockholm locations that is not true. As a matter of fact, you will have to get your own fibers to Netnod there. As for co-lo of equipment, not as easy as in a neutral co-location. As for visits, why would you need to? As for fibers, Stockholm has a fiber monopoloy run by the city of Stockholm. So you would have to buy fibers from that monopoloy in any case.
I was going to say 'this probably hinders customers adoption at NetNod', but I know for a fact the "probably" is superfluous.
That is your judgement. We have seen the largest growth for a long time in the last year.
