It's not a rumour.  PAIX is interconnecting with NYIIX as soon as the
fiber engineering people say that the photons will travel end to end.

Listen, I am not trying to be antagonistic, but: Why does this take so
long? PAIX-NY is a MFN facility, so, presumably, there is MFN fiber there
and ready to go. 25 Broadway is a MFN building, and has been for some time
(as in, many people have MFN fiber there). I can't comprehend how this can
take so long.

I had the same thought.  However, it turns out to light a path there's all
kinds of climbing down into manholes that has to happen.  I'm no fiber expert,
but the parent company (MFN) does employ such experts, so let's remain calm.
