St. Louis IX Launch

Mon Jan 16 00:36:20 UTC 2017

congrats!

I am curious, is the IX non-for-profit as well? The wikipedia entry for IX's
doenst indicate which IX's are non-profit. Im curious as to the prevalence
and size (as well as the relative successes) of such IX's vs for profit models 
(equinix etc).

St. Louis is a bit different than our existing market in that we've partnered with a local non-profit that will be focusing on non-commercial Internet aspects. These sorts of things are innovation neighborhoods, IoT, healthcare, education, public safety, etc. They may (or may not) be the big volume things we're used to, but they need local, low-latency connectivity just as much.
