T-1 Pricing Study / Reliable Power - Fuel Cells for Data Centers
Hi Frank,

Re: Retro Telephony - The Resurrection of the T-1:

I just called Qwest about installing a T-1 line to my residence. They told me that the monthly fee would be $250, or $1,050 per month if I were to use it for Internet connectivity. This is in line with what I've been hearing for while, as far as pricing goes, but I'm curious in view of recent press releases about T-1's supplanting xDSL in certain markets at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000 per month. I'm wondering if you can give us any "color" as to what pricing is like in your metro area? TIA

Re: Energia -

As regards the recently forgotten energy crisis, it should be noted that nationally, the weakest links in the energy grid this summer will be California and New York City, according to informed sources. The proximate cause is not generating capacity, but rather transmission capacity. This fact should really make SPs think twice about NYC locations unless they have a bomb-proof plan for alternate power generation, because a brown out is a real pisser for a data center. I'm curious if there are extant plans for the local generation of power in the boroughs that can ameliorate this possibility? Seems to be the perfect location to consider fuel cells as an alternate high nines source, as long as the gas is available. Have you seen any developments along these lines:
