[AusNOG] Megaport Suspends Accepting New Orders in PIPE DC's

[Nathan Brookfield]

Trust me I've had carriers nicely ask PIPE for access previously and have been told to do a land access notice so I would say Megaport are trying to do it 'properly' as opposed to 'aren't asking nicely'.

Kindest Regards,

Its the "Schedule 3 to the Telecommunications Act 1997" part.
Basically megaport aren't asking nicely for access to the DC, they are using that part of the act to compel the DC to allow them access.
TPG is saying that the people renting rack space aren't "occupiers" and as such megaport can't use that bit of the act to force them to allow access.
