I’d love more datacenters so I can colo my pet projects and startup like I was doing in the early 2000s

The point where we decided we would put all infrastructure in N. Virginia, stop owning hardware and rent it from a corporation charging 10x markup was right about when the Internet started going downhill.

I live in rural Ohio and there is like 6? Colo places within an hour’s drive.

When I lived outside of Orlando there was like a dozen in Orlando alone.

If you look up Colo options in your area, what is lacking? These new datacenters are high density AI hypercalers. They are not traditional Colo DC’s. It’s more like a whole new AWS AZ is getting slapped down. More of the same cloud computing you’re complaining about.

If anything, existing colos are going to be hurt by what's going on right now, as they're getting all of the political backlash from the AI hyperscaler bullshit going on.
