Starting to see people like Telehouse move into the monthly XC market, so one might think we're at the precipice of the slippery slope. And with Equinix buying Telecity, how long until we see US-style XCs in Europe? On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 10:29 AM, Nick Hilliard <nick@foobar.org> wrote:

In the US maybe. Cross-connect prices are much more reasonable in Europe (€0 - €50/month).
Personally, I don't have a problem with MRCs when ordering cross-connects: data centres are expensive to build and run. But yeah, $300/m is nuts and that price point has zero relationship to the cost of delivery of the service.
