A landing station is not typically carrier neutral and is not designed to have a huge of excess space to accommodate third parties. When I was at Hibernia Atlantic we would get from time to time a disaster recovery client, but there was not a lot of excess space available and so it was priced accordingly. It will be a very poor choice for most potential clients.

usually the logistics and business models of traditional CLS and DC are different (Bill Woodcock laid it out).
a few years ago i built a model for SWIFT that provided for dynamic remapping of lambda in the event of backhoe fade.  Not exactly your DC, neutral IX form factor, but met the need at the time.  I can dig up the DoT presentation if there is interest.

Hey there

I have been putting my thoughts on Infrapedia blog and sharing with folks like 


I am working on a new article and this time my topic will be looking at cable landing stations(cls). Do you consider cable landing stations as a datacenter? Do you have any experience deploying a pop in CLS? Are you able to share (on or off record) your experience which I can refer as your experience (good or bad) why deploying a pop inside a CLS is good or bad idea. Any additional comments..

I am not a big fan of CLS deployments. They have limited networks ( like only carriers and no eyeballs) and very expensive connectivity (usually) 

Thank you in advance sharing your experience 

Mehmet
