Dimension Data CEO Grant Bodley said bringing all of these businesses together under the Dimension Data name will create a better company.

After the buyout they've been dumping staff, changed some employment contracts to monthly. Welcome to your Asian overlords.

It is funny how Teraco caught them with their pants down. Napafrica changed the game and they didn't respond. I wondered how the landscape would have looked if IS just went and provided open access free peering. I mean they already hosted the INX nodes...

So they couldn't sell it?

Is this something IS offers? We have been stuck with an expensive MPLS between IS and MTN for years now that we really, really want to get rid of.

yeah, IS can buy from any vendor like DFA / Openserve or Liquid. LAN connect is openserve.
