Re: Landing Stations used as datacenter

[Javier J <javier () advancedmachines us>]

I would think that just a few extra fractions of a second from the cable
station to a DC/IX are better than a DC/IX near the beach where water can
wipe it all out. Preferably DC/IX should be on the 2nd or third floor IMHO
on some islands.
