The only joke here is that some people think that the Internet exchange in a city the size and importance of Atlanta can be adequately housed on the 5th story of an office building. I could understand it if Atlanta had 20 or 30 exchange points, but when there is only one exchange the city deserves better than a mickey-mouse 5th floor operation.
If anyone is interested in setting up an alternative Atlanta NAP, I have a very spacious first-floor apartment which I am more than happy to volunteer to the effort. It's even somewhat sunk below ground level, and I think my neighbors wouldn't mind the occassional running of a generator. I've already got 10MB/s, which puts the Northside-Circle-NAP on par with MAE-NY, right? 499 Northside Circle Apt 414 Atlanta, GA Colo space is $49/month for the kitchen, $69 for the living room. In light of the objections raised by Mr. Dillon, upstairs space (aka., "Todd's Bedroom") is cheaper at $29, and the shower can be yours for a mere $19.95 per month! Initial incoming bandwidth is 128k, meaning we're already faster than the orig. NSF backbone! Sign up now, space is very limited. As for geographical diversity, a fellow engineer who lives about a quarter-mile down the road just said he, too, has free rack space with a similar setup. However, since his is a second-floor apartment, he's going to undercut my pricing. Bastard! __ Todd Graham Lewis Linux!
