reports of equinix's demise appear to have been grossly premature.  see
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/021002/20088_1.html, whose title is something
like:

> Equinix Gains Strategic Investment From Singapore Technologies
Telemedia
> and Creates the Largest Global Network Neutral Internet Exchange
> Services Company Equinix to Merge i-STT and Pihana Pacific into its
> Internet Exchange Services Business; Equinix to Retire Approximately
80%
> of its Outstanding Bonds and Receive New Cash Investments of $30
Million

i'd like to publically congradulate equinix on getting this deal made.
it
will be good for them and their shareholders, but even more importantly
it
will be good for their customers and even their competitors.  neutral
data
centers that aren't just shell&core, once thought to be a waste of
capital
because of the lack of upsell, are going to be the biggest survivors
after
the dot-bomb mess.
