Marseille has grown and become the European gateway for east-west
traffic.<br>
<br>
Genoa cannot follow the same path because the conditions are
different: the Mediterranean GW has already been established.<br>
<br>
So the comparison does not help to bet on the development of <i>Landing
City</i>.<br>
<p>Said that there could be other reasons.</p>

</div>
<div>Ladies and Gentlemen, </div>

</div>
<div>Do you think Genoa has the potential to become a
major peering point given the large number of high
capcity cables landing there? That's how Marseille
became a peering point. A large number of cables put
their CLS equipment in the Marseille Interxion 1 and 2
buildings and soon those riding the cables started
cross connecting. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Genoa cables include</div>
<div>1. 2Africa. 180 Tbps design capacity. </div>
<div>2. Blue-Raman. 218 Tbps design capacity. </div>
<div>3. Sipartech's Medloop. ???</div>
<div>4. Unitirreno. (At least 320 Tbps depending on the
branch). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me know your thoughts on or off-list. </div>
