The RBOCs have a long history of using the "security" card to attempt to squelch the requirement for physical collocation by the FCC and the PUCs. In my experience, the colo providers had more to worry about from the employees of the RBOC w.r.t. equipment sabotage than other colo customers. I saw this in Florida during the 95-96 timeframe and I'm sure that it's been repeated elsewhere. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf Of Sean Donelan Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 1:51 PM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Eliminating physical colocation (was Re: Shared facilities) On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Martin Hannigan wrote:

Consider the various public statements on colocation security. http://www.state.ma.us/dpu/catalog/6688.htm "Verizon MA believes that the most effective means of ensuring network safety and reliability is to eliminate physical collocation entirely in all its COs, converting existing physical collocation arrangements to virtual and requiring that all future collocation arrangements be virtual only." Of course, this is a very different colocation model than used by companies such as Equinix. Just because they use the same terms doesn't make them the same thing.
