Well, it sounds like several people are interested in peering somewhere in the LA region. We were just out to the one wilshire building last Monday to look at the layout and the interconnects within the building. There are several people located on various floors there. For those that are in the building, you all probably know about the "cost" of doing business between floors. We just purchased a 4" pipe from P1 to the 18th floor (our location) with drops on each floor (hense the right of way). We also have a thousand spare feet of space that leased to us for the next generation or so :-) With this in mind, this week, we are starting the buildout of both co-location space as well as interconnect racks. We are planning on putting a 7500 in this location as well as a CDDI ring. We can just as easily put up an ethernet hub and interconnect this down to Peter's spot on the 14th floor. Bill, if you want to locate a RADB processor, you are welcome to install one in our location if need be. We will also allow low speed frame or T1 groups to connect in to the PCH router that we will probably be setting up there as well (packet clearing house) for a "star" peering arrangment. This router will back end into our connections also. As for anyone else, let me know since we are flying down to LA Wednesday to begin the rollout. Also, we will have MFS fiber and PacBell fiber on our floor as well if needed. We are talking to TCG for fiber as well for anyone who wants to connect via any of these methods.
