A "meet me room" (MMR) is a place within a colocation center (or carrier hotel) where multiple telecommunications companies can physically connect to one another and exchange data without incurring local loop fees. Services provided across connections in an MMR may be voice circuits, data circuits, or Internet protocol. To interconnect, companies order a patch from their cage or suite to the MMR, and then arrange for the organization running the facility to connect them together. These physical connections may be fiber, coax, twisted pair, or any other networking medium.
