I have indeed made an arrangement to visit them and will certainly
introduce them to DC3.
Cheers... Steve

Are they aware of this list? It will be great to
invite them to share and participate.

a case by case basis (depending on location), or a
bulk contract with a
single transit provider etc. Offering Gbit/s (is this bidirectional?)
Yes, they
offer 1Gbps bidir, and a few 10 Gbps for companies/orgs.
at the edge needs big transit "pipes".
The pipes do not need to be that huge, aggregation helps.
If I remember well, they have fibre to an IX in Manchester where they
get connectivity with carriers, and last year they were in the process
of leasing dark fibre to reach Edinburgh (probably in another IX) for
redundancy.
Also interesting is to talk about
the UK's "gigabit broadband voucher scheme" and how this helps their
initiative.
It was the topic of a discussion in a recent INCA meeting that I
didn't
attend. As usual, vouchers/subsidies can have a supporting or distorting
effect, depending of the rules/conditions + uncertainty if things take
time to deliver or are intelligently designed to favor large national
operators (a big elephant coming ...).
B4RN seems to be doing very good in terms of community investment, so
probably these vouchers can't add anything visible to it, but shake the
environment ...
Warm regards, Leandro.
fraternal regards
