Of course, that's not what I said, but only people who were present
actually know that. You said that LONAP's distributed strategy "kept
datacenters honest" to use your exact quote. That implied some sort of
benefit for members in acting as some sort of counterweight to (rapacious?)
data center providers. I made the point that distributed IX's don't really
impact power or space costs in data centers. I can provide actual data on
this, if you would like.
