Oh man.... First of all - a Hivelocity without Dan Protich isn't a good place to be, That's going to go downhill 
quickly... 2nd of all They're moving MIA bare metal to Tampa? That'll be interesting....

This was one reason why I decided to resign Hivelocity back in April of Last year. Just recently the old CEO (Jeremy) 
and COO (Jason) were fired. There's a New CEO assigned, and there's still a bunch of other changes that are in the 
pipeline to be occurring... Miami Colo was sold to DRT along with the Chicago Site, Miami BareMetal is going to get 
moved to Tampa 2, which i will only predict that it's not going to go well. Some of the items that were more than 
likely created which wasn't discussed was any colo customers that are using IP space from Colohouse which is now 
Hivelocity for the customers that were bought by Digital Reality. These were all issues that I brought up and they 
decided that they did not want to bring it up to Digital Reality... Crazy right? The Hivelocity (7 Teleport) New York 
site was in the process of being collapsed to a less network connected site in Orangeburg in New York. They didn't 
understand the purpose of the backbone of the network to help provide bet

ter overall connectivity so I'm sure that is one of the items that are inline to start to get dismantled as well.
