-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I, Aaron "BingoBoingo" Rogier, an individual (identified by GPG fingerprint ADD7A9A28F85E5EF1F51904F309BB8D7F3251143), attempting to cling to the lordship have in the month of October sent solicitations to 56 datacenter operators via email, and ended the month 11 ongoing conversations with operators, and have recieved one quote for services. [Datacenters confirmed to be subsidiaries of ISPs including Telestra, Level 3, and Equinix are excluded from these figures] The most promising leads are in Hong Kong and Brazil. The script began the month as: "I am seeking datacenter quotes in your region for an internet services business. We are seeking to begin with a one year lease on a 42U cabinet with 14.4KW of power, a 24 Gbit link with full international connectivity, and a C block of ipv4 addresses. Please email with a quote and pricing information along with any other pertinent information you find makes the case for choosing your datacenter. Kind Regards, Aaron Rogier" And the script ended the month as: "I am seeking quotes for datacenter services for an upcoming internet services business. We are seeking to begin with a year lease on a rack. We are also considering a few data center providers in Brazil, but the [location] government's friendlier attitude towards entrepreneurship makes [location] a very attractive place to do business. We are looking for: 1. One 42 U Rack (to colocate as many servers as we can fit within a sane heat envelope) 2. 6 to 7 Kva power to the rack 3. A 10 Gbps minimum or preferably a 20 Gbps internet connection (as two bonded 10 Gbps links) to the network switch on the rack, data transfer billed in a customary 95th percentile arrangement or at a reasonable rate per Terabyte is acceptable. 4. One C block of IPv4 addresses (256 contiguous addresses) Please email me with any questions or to submit a quote. Feel free to ask questions, it would be very nice if you could offer pricing information by the end of the week. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing what your data center can offer. Kind Regards, Aaron Rogier" It has been learned: -Large swaths of South East Asia including the "Tiger" economies have been discovered void of independent datacenters with any measurable international internet conenctivity -The UAE is dominated by Equinix and American ISPs dominate the Middle Eastern Market After recieving a quote from an independent datacenter in Sao Paulo Brazil, 17 small law firms near the datacenter were contacted and unknown larger number of firms were contacted through a referral service. This effort has resulted in referrals to two "business hosting" companies. Outreach to a member of the WoT local to the location resulted in referrals to two accounting firms offering similar "business hosting" arrangements.
