The thing about a carrier hotel is that it cannot be a secret location
since you need to allow various carriers and ISPs to have physical

The advantage of this swedish data centre is that even if its location
is well known, it is pretty hard to harm the building. You can't run a
truck full of explosives into it for instance.

Unfortunately, you also cannot run your own fiber there, colo equipment there, visit it for any reason, etc.

for the non-Stockholm locations that is not true. As a matter of fact, you will have to get your own fibers to Netnod there. As for co-lo of equipment, not as easy as in a neutral co-location. As for visits, why would you need to?

As for fibers, Stockholm has a fiber monopoloy run by the city of Stockholm. So you would have to buy fibers from that monopoloy in any case.

I was going to say 'this probably hinders customers adoption at NetNod', but I know for a fact the "probably" is superfluous.


That is your judgement. We have seen the largest growth for a long time in the last year.
