When you see this please raise it to my attention. I can't promise a resolution but will promise clarity in what is 
going on. 

I know some cities are problematic as we are moving cages or datacenter space and have the usual related problems. 

There is always something.

The wheels of bureaucracy are certainly a problem. The largest peer on our local exchange couldn't even get Akamai to 
complete a peering turn up because whoever was working on the ticket on the Akamai side got stuck on trying to set up 
the wrong location. And then months pass, it never got resolved, and then they decided to pull the cache. Akamai had 
one hand failing to set up new peers and the other hand saying why aren't there more peers, and the two hands never 
know what the other is doing.
