Hetzner is building their 4. DC Park @ Tuusula, Finland!
Hetzner is finally going to build their new data center park in Finland.
Now that explains why they invested in a sub sea cable between Finland and Germany.
The DC will have 150.000 Square meter space, they said that they will build that new DC there not only because the cable they recently got, but because of the Geographically near to the East and the low Electricity and cooling costs.
Building will begin early in 2016.
I'm to lazy to translate more, so...

Thanks for the news!
Ultimately, I will be interested in the bandwidth pricing and network peering....
I would expect them to have comparable peering to Falkenstein.

TeliaSonera for sure - they own a lot of fiber in that area
eipä kestä
probably their own, as mentiones earlier...

As upstream? Not primary, primary is likely backhaul to Germany which they have to do to repay the investment and is cheaper per Mbit (as Telia in the end only backhauls to STO and DE anyway, probably even on the same or a cable 25m away from the new one).
It's only their 3th DC Park. Datacenterpark is the term Hetzner coined for their own Datacenter Concept (modular & on-demand).
