Non-Profit Colocation?

dew asks: "I've just put together what might be the world's first non-profit focused on providing colocated Internet access for individuals, non-profits, and Open Source groups. We're called the California Community Colocation Project and we're part of a 501c3. We do not host any for-profit endeavors, personal or commercial. We've just opened our Palo Alto facilities and have multiple fiber drops to PAIX, where our upstream provider is heavily peered. I started this project to be as useful as possible to the non-profit and Open Source worlds: how would you best recommend I do that? Compile farms? A SourceForge mirror in case they go down?"

Aren't they *ALL* non-profit? by Anonymous Coward · 2002-02-04 10:58 · Score: 1, Funny

I've worked for several colo-providers, and all of them were apparently non-profit enterprises. At least they didn't make enough money to keep up with loan payments and such.

Most are bankrupt now. When I first saw the headline I thought perhaps someone had written something about one of them . . .

Oh well. Back to lurking.
