RE: [PLUG] Good, inexpensive co-location


During WWII, that building was used to build tanks and other armored
vehicles.  It was built to withstand more punishment than the norm.  It is a
good choice for our infrastructure.

If anybody is looking for an excellent alternative for network accessible
rack space, I know there is a building that was renovated a few years ago
right across the street.  The building is right behind the Philly Newspapers
building.  The had bundles of fibre pulled from the North American Building
(401 North Broad Street).

Either you can locate your equip there, or run your own fiber there.
Which do you think is cheapest?  If something was to happen to those
locations, if you're in there or not you're going to be affected, unless
your going to run your own fiber a crossed the world ;P . They are the
backbones in Philly.

Great, let's put it all in the same place. Smart thinking.
