If you read through http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras/nac-case/plantiff-affidavit1.pdf you'll see that NAC was blackmailing their client because they knew they could not quickly move out
I think that argument is close to being bogus. The agreement doesn't say that they have to be out in 45 days: Following a mailing of a notice of an increase of base prices, customer shall have ten days from the effective date of the increase to provide NAC with a written request to terminate service. ... If customer elects to terminate, such notice shall be effective thirty days following receipt of customer's notice to terminate. So, it's 45 + 10 + 30 = 85 days. They mention 60 megawatts of power. It seems to me that the focus shouldn't be on the easy task of renumbering a /24 in 85 days (is it really just a /24?), but on moving the servers :-) There is mention of increased power charges (up to $18,000) and usage of 60Mw. Isn't $20/amp/month still a standard charge in co-lo sites? If so, $18,000 buys 900amps. With 120V service, we get (120*900)/1.67 = 65kw. 65kw over 30 twenty-four hour days is about 47Mw. So, the customer is getting a deal. -mark
