sounds like most of these facilities, the build it and they will come
isn't true... sparcely populated warehousing :) We see that here in
Pittsburgh and most other places.. Exodus being a big exception.
frankly, if someone wants me to co-lo and all they do is co-lo how
smart am I... sure cost might make me choose wrong...
Remember, sales people are only there to get the contract and you stuck
for a very long time... Gald to here someone has made it well for a
good period of time, in the post-sales world of provisioning.
