Re: [nznog] Power event in sky tower

We're re-assessing our Sky Tower footprint at the moment. No doubt it is great for radio, not so much for co-location. Actrix has been up there for some time and I suspect that back in the 90s there weren't many options for points of presence so everyone just landed there. In Citylink's defense, there are currently three places to interconnect where it isn't it really expensive - 220 Queen Street, their DC and Sky tower but I do I wish there were more.

It's not so much that APE is there.

Honestly APE has less value compared to the other cross connects I have at SKY in terms of a reason for co-locating there.

It's more that every other carrier / ISP / random guy with an AS has a presence there, so is a handy spot to interconnect.

If there was a decent DC in the CBD, where everyone else was, and that wasn't excruciatingly expensive, then I'm sure we'd all be there instead.

Also Citylink seem to have a default pricing policy that's, "well try and make it really expensive to connect to APE everywhere else but sky", which seems to have sane pricing for historical reasons.

Hands up for Level 48 (or ST as a whole) being the stupidest place for co-lo in the world?

APE's available at a whole lot of places around Auckland now, as an industry should we be looking at a move away from the SkyTower? Not all at once, but I'd be interested to know:

Who still thinks it's a critical place and would deploy new equipment there today? Anyone have it as their only point of possible APE interconnect in Auckland? Is anyone not aware that there are loads of other places to get on APE/do peering/hand off in Auckland?

I'd like to be having a conversation in the not to distant future which went along the lines of: "Heh, remember those crazy days when we used to have a peering exchange in the sky tower?" "Heh - yeah what were we thinking"
