Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) Presents at TD Cowen 12th Annual Communications Infrastructure Summit Transcript

Michael Elias: TD Cowen, Research Division So good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to TD Cowen's 12th Annual Communications Infrastructure Summit. Again, Michael Elias, covering comms for TD Cowen. For this session, we have Equinix. And from Equinix, we have their EVP of Global Operations, Raouf Abdel, who's back here with us for the second straight year, which makes me very happy. This is structured as a fireside chat. We have just under 30 minutes because I've gotten a little carried away with the prior sessions. We got questions prepared, but I will do my best, if you're okay with it, to open it up to the audience. And I see some people in the audience who may have questions. So I'll just throw that out there.

Michael Elias: TD Cowen, Research Division Yes. I think you could say there may be some hecklers.
