thank you very much to so many people who have reached out providing leads , made introductions and followed up offering help.
I wanted to update the list with the progress we have made so far. 1) We've identified several datacenter facilities where networks are commonly present and diverse from each other with some additional network assets. We will soon be touring these facilities. 2) We've talked to backbone and transit providers and got incredible deals for this market & caribbean 3) We've engaged few "core" Content networks and asked them to join our initiative (Great interest here but we need more.) 4) Last but not least, we need some people on the island for bootstrapping and ongoing support of the IX and the members (this is a challenge, I will personally work on resolving by spending 2 weeks in August in Puerto Rico both searching & interviewing candidates. 5) We were offered some hardware donations but they are fairly old, and we are looking for modernish IX equipment that are easy to setup & manage. If anyone has suggestions please do let me know, I am thinking about just buying some stuff from Ebay :-) Anyway, I will be at NANOG Denver and if anyone is interested in speaking in person please feel free to setup time to discuss this https://calendly.com/akcin On Sun, Sep 3, 2017 at 9:28 PM, Joly MacFie <j...@punkcast.com> wrote: > Looking forward to updating https://en.wikipedia. > org/wiki/Internet_Exchange_of_Puerto_Rico :) > > > >> >>> We are hoping the relaunch to happen sometime in 2018.
