Hi John, Add Northern Virginia to the list. Then move it to the top. Historically, telecommunications on the US east coast hubbed in NoVA, just outside Washington DC, making it an attractive area for early Internet peering points like MAE-East. That has evolved over the past decade but NoVA still holds a commanding position in Internet interconnectivity. There are a number of local data centers most interconnected by multiple dark fiber providers. The most connected is probably Equinix in Ashburn VA. YMMV as to whether its cost-effective for a "small fish." Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................ her...@dirtside.com b...@herrin.us 3005 Crane Dr. ......................
