The "Mike Special" deal

The "Mike Special" was a promotion we had at my workplace. Basically, you could get a free (as in FREE!) cabinet with 20 amp power and a 1 gigabit connection to the Internet if you procured a router that was 10-gigabit-capable, registered an AS number at ARIN that came with an IPv6 /48 block, ran BGP on your router with the full table, connected your 10 gigabit link to one of the Internet exchanges we had available at the data center (thank you, FCIX!), and got your AS number setup and listed at peeringdb.com. As far As I know this special is still available to anyone who can fulfill the requirements. The total cost for the router, the AS number and a few other things was around $2000, with the router being the most expensive single item. So if you've got 2 grand you can spare and you want a cabinet of your own, hit up sales@he.net with your request and details and they can help you get set up.
