Please stop calling it "at the edge." You have seven locations all in highly developed Equinix datacenters.

Edge means getting embedded into ISP networks, cell towers, smaller metros, etc.

Actually it means both, in an unfortunate case of term overload. Though I can understand the embedded/IoT world being frustrated by this, as the term existed first within that context.

Both what? There is no definition other than running a workload "at the edge" near the requestor.

This is like the owner of a restaurant with two locations in the same city calling themselves a nationwide chain. It is just a flat out fabrication.
