It is a fact that large telecomm hubs need guaranteed power supplies. It is a fact that the individual players in telecomm want to be located near each other in large cities (same building, same block). The solution to this whole mess is for the city government to run a special power utility that operates a pair of safe and highly secure diesel power generating plants which provide dual entrance service to telecomm hotels in a specific area of the city. That way folks can install equipment with no batteries and no generators because they are getting triply redundant and diverse power (utility, and 2 city diesel generation plants).And why exactly should taxpayers subsidize telecom hotels? (And don't say it won't need to be subsidized, because if it can be profitable without subsidies stop posting to nanog and start talking to investors.) Bradley
