1) Lack of true 'public' Data centre Space in NZ

I predict the actions Chorus are intending to take in opening up their exchanges in UFB areas (or possibly wider), will start to turn that around.

Chorus exchanges are not ICT centric in most places, i.e have lots of DC stuffs, not so much AC stuffs, and not so much(if any) Data-centre rack space in the smaller locations.

As Nathan pointed out, having a south Island Landing point and a decent South Island Datacentre would make a lot more sense (may I suggest **NOT** Christchurch) for diversity and Datacentre options.

Whilst this maybe good for diversity, it doesn't solve the "single location" to pickup all or most NZ routes.

I'm quite serious that a single location where I could put equipment that I could build private, public peering and obtain decently priced connectivity to the outside world with services I expect done properly (eg. remote hands available 24x7 etc) would enable people to build in NZ.

It's not saying that you won't have to connect to SYD for somethings, but it'd help a lot.
