[ITNOG] Genoa Question

[Brian Turnbow]

You must consider that Genoa is a city nestled between the sea and the
hills. This means that the available land to construct DCs is very limited
and pricey.  Thus content and carriers will be reluctant to build out and
limited to  the available DCs. A lot of the cables landing are proceeding
to Milan directly that offers an ever increasing landscape of both content
and DCs. So you can find better facilities , more connections in and out of
Italy with a few Ms in Milan.
I do think that Genoa has its place as a  landing station/connection
point/local gateway, but there are impediments in it becoming a larger
traffic source.
That said I do hope that I am proven wrong and Genoa becomes the biggest
traffic hub in the Mediterranean:-)
