Dear Jason,
Thank you very much for sharing the info below.
Please note that the initial idea of hosting at GOC was to have a neutral hosting facilities.
It is also understood that access is not that easy to the GOC. If the members have no objections, then go for it.
I also understand that Rogers has already extended a switch to their NOC which makes it easier to connect for all operators who are already in their NOC.
Since your NOC is just next door, may be it does not serve much purpose to have another switch next door.
May be the next thing would be to have a switch far away from Ebene Cybercity. May be in the North or the South.
Otherwise, I am glad to see that there are a lot of interests to make the MIXP works which can only be good for the community and obviously for the ISPs as well.
Regards Ganesh
