Just for the comment about undercutting..

At that price we can still make money, including space. You have to understand being in Equinix bandwidth is cheaper than other places, and the volumes we buy at is quite a lot. We are FULLY taking advantage of the current (we believe temporary) insane pricing large networks are selling their soul at. Also you have to keep in mind there may be agreements in place for peering, that further lowers the cost per mbit.

Also what has to be figured in is the future potential bringing online a large customer with a big name such as Quiet. Getting folks in the door is the hard part. Word of mouth goes a long ways.

I've just heard this comment we're undercutting the industry too much lately. Yes, we are selling very high quality services lower than we will be 6 months. However, it is a calculated business decision in order to get our name out there and show people the level of service we do offer. NOTHING beats word of mouth advertising. Period.

Oh well, sorry for the spam. That comment simply is one of my peeves.
