Data Center T1?

So,

    I've heard of Meetup Rooms, Meet Point Rooms, T1's for Internet access, but can a T1 line be used within a data center that does not travel over a 3rd party line?  Someone said they did, and I'm looking for validation.  Anything to explain data centers a bit better would be appreciated.  I have not heard of T1's being used in this fashion.

Thanks,

So this person was saying it is common practice.  I agree with the point about GBPS verses T1.  Are other capabilities deployed in data centers such as DS3?  Again, I am not sure why one would, but I'm trying to give this person some credit.  Maybe they have old information from years ago.  Thoughts?

Don,

     That is what I understood a T1 to be.  But now about alternate WAN technologies?  Dave, above, said one could theoretically do so.  I think the person who said this is throwing BS out there.  How about Meet Point Rooms and T1's?

All,

   What I am hearing is that this person was probably making up crap to sound intelligent.  Even OCX would be ridiculous within a data center or cloud service provider (assuming one geographic location - not a dispersed model).  What technology do Meet Point Rooms use?  They aren't using OCX or anything are they?

Don,

    Thank you.  I know a company who calls them Meet Point Room.  It is the same as MPE and Meet-me rooms.

All,

    Thanks for your answers!
