Hi Rod Telehouse have stopped any 3rd parties from cabling as far as I’m aware We do have fibre between North and West (and East-West / North-West too) and can offer wavelengths if it is of any use / help Our ring runs from TFM3 -> TFM42 -> TFM120 -> TFM3 Jon > > Roderick Beck > Sales Contractor - Europe and the Americas > Hibernia Networks > http://www.hibernianetworks.com <http://www.hibernianetworks.com/> > Budapest and New York > 36-30-859-5144 > rod.b...@hibernianetworks.com <mailto:rod.b...@hibernianetworks.com> > — Jon Morby FidoNet - the internet made simple! tel: 0345 004 3050 / fax: 0345 004 3051 twitter: @fido | skype://jmorby | web: https://www.fido.net
[uknof] Rack space in THN
As you’re probably aware, another DC has gone belly up this month … sadly they were also one of my customers and had space from us in THN As a result it would appear I have a couple of 8 amp racks coming available if anyone is looking for space in Telehouse North … We can provide wavelengths to East and West, as well as IP Transit and all the other obvious services (as well as connections to/from the new BDX in Brighton) — Jon Morby FidoNet - the internet made simple! tel: 0345 004 3050 / fax: 0345 004 3051 twitter: @fido / skype://jmorby

Re: [uknof] The operator's operator
Initially you need to be present in either New England House (96 businesses currently are and they’re planning on building a second building next door to increase capacity), or at one of FastNet or FidoNet’s data centres, or connected to MetraNet’s wireless ring around Brighton or be in one of the buildings that are “adjacent” such as Vantage Point There are musings about running fibre from the BDX to the business quarter .. but that depends on demand Currently the council are busy trying to bring more tech businesses to the "New England quarter" … there are a lot of “fused” businesses (whatever the hell that means) in the local area already and more tech businesses appearing daily (something like 100 startups all operating out of Wired Sussex alone - on top of the businesses in the NEH complex already) This is all fledgling stuff, but it seemed worthy so we jumped in on the ground floor … chances of profit are negligible at least in early days, but the BDX seems to have the right idea. Someone described it to me along the lines of “kids leave Uni/College in Brighton and have jobs to go to … they can either bugger off back up north and sign on up there, or they can try to make a go of something in Brighton / Hove / Worthing / etc where they’ve been living for the last 3-4 years anyway and maybe get somewhere” … the idea of the Digital Catapult and the BDX and Wired Sussex / et al is to try and see if we can help make that happen. My personal goal is to have enough excuses to move to Brighton and “semi retire” there … hell I’m nearly 45 … that’s over 100 in IT years :) (but I will still want decent connectivity when I retire :) Jon > On 25 Mar 2015, at 11:55, Christian de Larrinaga wrote: > > Jon > > Given that you say the connectivity locally is poor and presumably tied > into the "circuit" model into an exchange fabric how do people reach the > IX in order to join it usefully? > > Christian > > > Jon Morby (FidoNet) wrote: >> The IX is secondary (and I don’t anticipate a fast start or a lot of >> traffic, especially not when comparing to other regional IXs). >> >> The DX is the primary driver to help kickstart tech businesses and give them >> a central focal point for innovation / etc … this is one small part of a >> much larger initiative >> >> The distinct lack of high speed internet has been a problem for a long time, >> the quality of life is there but the last mile is awful and not “fit for >> business” use >> >> FTTC is starting to appear but too little too late … hopefully the BDX will >> act as catalyst, mixed in with other initiatives, to help tech companies >> start and to grow whist not being dependent on London for the basics. >> >> I guess we’ll measure the success as to whether or not the BDX is still >> going in 3 years time as whilst it is a co-operative, it does have to be >> self funding so we need members to join either the IX or the DX or both >> >> >> >> J >> >> >>> On 24 Mar 2015, at 23:00, Neil J.

Re: [uknof] The operator's operator
The IX is secondary (and I don’t anticipate a fast start or a lot of traffic, especially not when comparing to other regional IXs). The DX is the primary driver to help kickstart tech businesses and give them a central focal point for innovation / etc … this is one small part of a much larger initiative The distinct lack of high speed internet has been a problem for a long time, the quality of life is there but the last mile is awful and not “fit for business” use FTTC is starting to appear but too little too late … hopefully the BDX will act as catalyst, mixed in with other initiatives, to help tech companies start and to grow whist not being dependent on London for the basics. I guess we’ll measure the success as to whether or not the BDX is still going in 3 years time as whilst it is a co-operative, it does have to be self funding so we need members to join either the IX or the DX or both J > On 24 Mar 2015, at 23:00, Neil J.

I might be interested :) Nearly everyone I’ve spoken to either doesn’t have capacity, won’t sell the fabric or wants to charge silly money … The BDX is the first step towards making this more viable … and we’ve managed to get some connectivity in for backhaul … this is of course a regional IX rather than an extension of a London vPoP (at this stage at least) The site opens officially at the end of May Jon — Jon Morby FidoNet - the internet made simple! tel: 0345 004 3050 / fax: 0345 004 3051 twitter: @fido / skype://jmorby

Re: [uknof] The operator's operator
Hi Roderick I’m not sure about Bristol (although there is IX Cardiff) The Brighton Digital Exchange (and IX Brighton) is on the South Coast AS 44488 There’s a small data centre and a carrier neutral exchange opening as part of the UK Government’s initiative to turn Brighton into a Digital Catapult city References http://www.digitalcatapultcentre.org.uk/ http://bdx.coop/ http://ixbrighton.com/ > On 24 Mar 2015, at 21:04, Rod Beck wrote: > > Bristol Digital exchange is a new peering point? > > Roderick Beck > Sales Director/Europe and the Americas > Hibernia Networks > http://www.hibernianetworks.com > Budapest and New York > 36-30-859-5144 > rod.b...@hibernianetworks.com > This e-mail and any attachments thereto is intended only for use by the > addressee(s) named herein and may be proprietary and/or legally privileged. > If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, you are hereby notified > that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this email, and any > attachments thereto, without the prior written permission of the sender is > strictly prohibited.
