Equinix to join role of chapter 11's?

Wed Oct 2 19:16:15 UTC 2002

I to join in, I want to publicly congrat Jay and the rest.  There 
were a lot of people throwing FUD around,  nowadays it's too easy to 
be negative and very counterproductive to growth and deployment. 
Equinix is obviously here to stay and a safe place to do peering and 
interconnections.  While it's slighly off topic, I think there are 
always negative posts on the list and it's important to also exchange 
information when there is a positive light on something.

Perhaps Paul is right, and these stable peering locations will be the 
foundation in rebuilding growth in the networking industry.
