Any services out there where an AS can rent a BGP router so that you don't need to be physically located in a city to be able to have a PoP ?

Thanks for the tip, I see colo but what I don't see is where I can just outright rent a cisco or juniper for a month and get shell on it like a hosted server...

@cjd Does it need to be a physical router or juniper - or would Amazon or Microsoft Azure or VMWARE suffice or be even better? I do not have a direct answer. Just know that, working in IT and living in Phoenix, this city and dozens others do have tremendous facilities avail., often with tremendous flexibility. You may get hangups, no return call if you say "a month," so consider seeking an initial discount or trial, or a no-cancellation situation, and then if you need it for just a month, fini!

I'm doing research for a little bit of writing on the PKT project. I'm developing a thesis that the reason why bandwidth markets have stagnated (and why most internet access is monopoly) is because the process of going from buying bandwidth from BOS to NYC and then NYC to LAX and then trying to stitch those links together is impossible without racking up a box in a meet-me room...

@cjd What will/would be a basic package request - specifically and solely a 500GB per month or unlimited, or metered per GB traffic network service and physical switch placement - hosting - just 1u for now. 1U -a single unit of rack space, 1.75 inch.) I too will make requests and represent myself as from Phoenix (the truth) and give you info. What are you asking/requesting of the data centers, co-lo operators, if I and others may help you? Get a specific set of requirements and you get info.

I'd be looking for a hosted Cisco NCS-5000 or similar, in a meet-me room, with connections to upstreams and local internet-exchanges, which I can control from a console at home, the same way I rent an OVH server.
