I think AMS-IX had an exchange in Mombasa in the SEACOM landing station at some point, but that is gone now. I'm not sure about the exact reasons there but someone here probably knows what happened.<br class="">
<br class="">
There's also a big amount of carriers in the TATA landing station in Mumbai, it is the second-largest in that market just behind GPX in terms of carrier density at least according to PeeringDB.<br class="">

<div dir="auto" class="">I am working on a new article and this time my topic will be looking at cable landing stations(cls). Do you consider cable landing stations as a datacenter? Do you have any experience deploying a pop in CLS? Are you able to share (on or off
record) your experience which I can refer as your experience (good or bad) why deploying a pop inside a CLS is good or bad idea. Any additional comments..</div>
