[AusNOG] Melbourne Primus/Vocus datacenter at 55 King closing

[Mailing Lists]

Hi All,

There is no grand conspiracy here. 55 King is being knocked down by the
building owner for a bigger tower, 59 Doody has a road planned to go
through it.

Certainly we could do better with notifications and I'm sure your account
managers would love to hear feedback on how we can improve.

Cheers,
Damien.
