This contains the
world's densest "meet-me" room. Over 260 ISPs connect their networks here.
"One tends to think of the internet as a redundant system of remote
carriers peppered throughout the world, but in order for the net to
function the carriers have to physically connect somewhere. For the
Pacific Rim, the main connection point is the One Wilshire building in
downtown Los Angeles.
If this facility went down, most of California and parts of the rest of the world would not be able to connect to the internet."
