Well I am building one, just not near MAE-East. I think that if I build one 1 mile away and had 24x7 remote hands, AC/DC, redundant fiber paths MFS and others, UPS/generator with redundant by-pass, and much more people would not move. I know that some would, but to make it work you would need to get Sprint, MCI, UUNet, and ANS to move and I think that would be hard to do. Even if you were using my model and gave Sprint, MCI, UUNet, and ANS free rack space and free gigaswitch port.
People should build robust enough infrastructure so that they don't rely on MAE-East so much. The current MAE-East is a disaster waiting to happen. Just hope that there isn't a flood in that area any time soon. Oh, speaking of environmental conditions, I hope folks who are on DC power check their wire. Last time I was there, most of them were hooked up using 10 amp wire and were running pretty hot. -dorian
