Fernando,
No doubt Amsterdam have good peering, but the American
ASN (14907)
is listed
only on TampaIX, which is a poorly connected.
Thanks for your suggestions - they have always floated around, but
there're many issues to resolve.
First of all, peering traditions in US are completely different, than
in Europe or anywhere else - especially if we're not a huge telco.
I suggest you ask a donation or buy transport from
Tampa to Miami
(Nota)
and/or Atlanta (56 Marietta St). Both places are much better
connected. From
my POV (South America) Miami would be the best.
Getting to those locations doesn't mean immediately all South
American providers will be peering (especially large telcos).
I suggest you ask a donation (network and
Miami/Atlanta rackspace)
to Sago
Networks, they recently released their fiber backbone which should
have
plenty of free space:

Private-Fiber-Network-from-Tampa-to-Atlanta-and-Miami.aspx
We've done really good research about all companies doing any
networking activities in Tampa area. Sure, if there's a way for us to
do more efficient stuff, we will do so eventually :-)
If you decide to go the buy route I estimate the cost
of a 2.5gig
wave to
Miami or Atlanta would be around 5k monthly (plus cross-connect
fees, taxes,
rackspace, remote hands).
There're more issues involved - like our routing capacity, network
engineering hours, etc.
I'm not in any authority to speak about this, but really, if there're
good things to do, we generally do them :)
BR,
