Equinix: A Cartography of Digital Space

The conventional understanding of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or REITs, is… pedestrian. A landlord, merely collecting rent. But Equinix transcends this limited definition. It is not a proprietor of bricks and mortar, but of the very space within which data traverses the globe. A digital fiefdom, if you will. The obligation to distribute ninety percent of taxable income to shareholders is not a constraint, but a curious ritual, a constant bleed of energy into the wider economic labyrinth.
