True to some extent, and much of that is driving “edge” [ which is still a lot of hyperbole ]. However, in metros globally, growth in use and density is unavoidable and will continue to drive interconnection. Growth may not be the same, but how do you think Equinix will drive an average of 2.5 interconnections per cabinet higher? It is all they care about. Cloud adoption just shifts the traffic. Its all eyeballs.
