Uh, Switzerland is one of the best locations to do this in, due to the government fibre build-out mandate. However, you have to start a little larger than "minimum" ISP size in other countries to be able to take advantage of it.

Peering… really depends on where you are, it hasn't been a problem for us.

That said, Init7 is, for the time being, still a scaled-up mini ISP. They're slowly devolving into corporate-dom, but not there yet.

I’m interested to hear more about Init7 becoming more corporate, is that just by virtue of growth and having to adapt to the complexity of being a larger org? Or something else?

		It's just market pressure to make/keep things cheap (= "optimising" support), and also with becoming larger it's harder to reach the 'tech nerds' as normal customer if you don't have another social connection to them.
