NTT’s Michael Wheeler says growing hubs of activity are creating fresh demand for high-quality IP in more areas.

This summer, moves have been afoot to bring more high-quality IP services to the US interior. First, NTT added a new point of presence (PoP) for its Global IP Network in Denver, Colorado. Swiftly following, a mere two weeks later, came the announcement that the company was also launching a PoP in Phoenix, Arizona.

These moves reflect a global trend for players across the IT, content delivery and enterprise spaces to capitalise on big opportunities in fast-growing locations that offer vibrant expanding internet markets and local economies.
