Carrier HotelsA CRG West Definition
Carrier hotels offer a neutral meet-me point for
facility-based networks, carriers, service
providers, entertainment, and content
distribution providers to easily interconnect
their networks and services. The carrier hotel
is rapidly evolving to support packet exchange
services, in addition to classic physical
interconnections.
