With telecomm dereg as life, GTE Mobilnet in Hawaii is now selling co-lo 
space. 

We supply battery backed DC, battery fed - inverted DC to AC, 
all backed by a cat diesel generator. AirCon is fault tolerant as well. 
We supply locked cabinets or cages. We install your equipment (power 
connections etc.), you turn it up. We have UNIX and IP literate 
people with Bay, Cisco, BSDI, NT, USR TC, Ascend and Solaris experience 
on premise and, avail 24x7. GTE.net just co-lo'd their Hub for 
Hawaii, soon to be a NAP per their plans. Three other medium to 
large ISP's are there as well.
