I’ve merely skimmed so far, though have resolved to read the entire document from cover to cover.

To our customers, I ask:

It’s been a while since my last post, and I’d like to take a few moments to bring everybody up to speed on some significant developments on the Voxel network.

First, I’m pleased to announce the expansion of the Voxel network to Seattle, WA. We are peering at the Seattle Internet Exchange (colloquially, the “SIX”), a not-for-profit organization committed to interconnecting organizations which run the gamut from small research networks and access providers to popular content providers and telecommunications giants. This is an important gain for us; it provides us strong reachability to viewer “eyeballs” in the northeast region and western Canada, long neglected by larger providers as a point of interconnection.

Not to overshadow this announcement, Voxel has also gone live with its Singapore (SIN1) facility, our first deployment in Asia. We are providing our full suite of services, including virtualized and dedicated server hosting and content delivery, out of this location.

A number of enterprising “eyeball providers” (a term we techies use referencing Internet Service Providers delivering connectivity primarily to end-users, or “eyeballs”, over DSL, cable, fiber, et cetera) have recently put out press releases announcing the availability of these services. We’ve been flooded with dozens of sales calls and e-mails promoting these services, from all the usual suspects, and then some!

With so much buzz in the air, what does this all mean, when stripped of the usual marketing fluff? To understand fully, one must take a step back and look at its origins: peering itself.
