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.
Agreed. In some of our markets where carrier-neutral facilities do not exist next to our CLS's, we may still sell some space, until it runs out. We wouldn't typically add anymore because, well, that's not our core business. Where carrier-neutral data centres may exist, we encourage customers to got there, even if they feel being at the CLS is better than being at the data centre. Not a major drama since our Metro would hit the data centre anyway. Otherwise, we're always encouraging data centre operators to build facilities in our markets to take the obvious pent-up load. Mark.
