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.
