Hi Stephen,

With two densely packed fiber optic cables forming a self-healing ring, you could create a virtual colo just about anywhere. About ten years ago we introduced the virtual colo principle to some of the financials on WS, and to some of the smaller emerging carriers... POPs began popping up in some strategic locations for disaster recovery purposes, and as node points for neutral hand off.

The reasons that it's taken some time to catch on is probably due to the only-recent explosion, relatively speaking, of the several-orders-of-magnitude explosion in blossoming sectors, those which depart from traditional POTS and SNA, mainly those which satisfy the Internet meet point requirement.

Regards, Frank Coluccio

ps - thanks for the article. Which issue of Phone + was it from? These mags have a bad habit of not dating themselves. Maybe its staring me in the eye, but I can't find it.
