[AusNOG] NextGen DC's becoming more "open" CRM:000080884

[Bevan Slattery]

Yeah - It's so good to see the change.  David Yuile is already quickly changing the culture and the next 12 months should be interesting to watch.

Glad Vocus had a good run, but I know plenty didn't.

Over the past 10 years, Nextgen have been very painful for carriers to get reasonable access.  Just ask many of the people who colocated there (and moved out) over the years.  But today we saw something that had reason for optimism.

So it would appear that the old carrier "jail" mentality of their previous managements DC strategy has now been killed off by the new management.  A welcome development.
