My understanding is that AWS and Microsoft have deployed Peering Routers
and backbone capacity here in the Twin Cities. However, Google back-hauls
our peering to its Chicago Peering Routers. While I'm disappointed by this,
we have to remember Google was the first Cloud provider to interconnect to
MICE, and they were critical to our early growth. While I encourage Google
to deploy Peering Routers and backbone capacity here in the Twin Cities,
they have to do this on their own timetable. Nevertheless, because of their
early participation in MICE, I refuse to criticize Google too harshly and
trust they will eventually deploy Peering Routers and backbone capacity
here in the Twin Cities.
Thanks.
