Fresh water might not be in your scope for the article, but I believe crosslakefibre.ca operates a link across Lake Ontario, Buffalo to Toronto at TORIX 151 Front Street, but you'd need to verify with them if indeed the landing comes directly into the facility, this may be the case though as lak

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. - J On Fri, Nov 15, 2019 at 4:11 PM Owen DeLong wrote: >

Some Caribbean islands had IXs in landing stations early on IIRC. Usually before the island built it’s first datacenter. Some of them were better/faster about moving to the datacenter once it was established than others. Owen > On Nov 15, 2019, at 01:47 , Martijn Schmidt via NANOG wrote: >

I think AMS-IX had an exchange in Mombasa in the SEACOM landing station at some point, but that is gone now. I'm not sure about the exact reasons there but someone here probably knows what happened. There's also a big amount of carriers in the TATA landing station in Mumbai, it is the second-la
