1. Does anyone know where the Bovespa is located and if colocation is a possibility at that datacenter/s.
Sao Paulo downtown, although it is unclear at this time if it will stay there or not. They do not provide colocation at their datacenter, but there is one a few steps from it, Alog. (http://www.alog.com.br). Other SP metro area datacenters include Locaweb (http://www.locaweb.com.br), UOL Host (http://www.uolhost.com.br) and Global Crossing. UOL Host newest facility is also at downtown. Bovespa recently chose Diveo (http://www.diveo.com, acquired by UOL Host) for their contingency site, located about 30 km from Bovespa current location.
2. What is a good Internet (DS3? or ethernet) carrier in Sao Paolo
Ethernet carriers are prevalent in Sao Paulo. My first pick is AES Atimus (http://www.aesatimus.com.br). Algar (http://www.algartelecom.com.br), Global Crossing coming second; you can also lease Internet capacity from the datacenter you end up colocating at, usually with good prices and quality. Rubens
