Colocating in a CO is kinda difficult with good reason.  They have to engineer

power for you (and internet equipment draws a lot more power than they're

used to) and the whole issue of access is difficult.   Given that you're not

internal or on their approved list, you'd probably have to be supervised

while in the CO.  Even the interexchange carriers tend to 

maintain a minimal amount of equipment in the CO and typically have an

adjacent building for their stuff.

 

There is just a whole lot of open card racks, large bundles of cable, and other 

stuff that you wouldn't want anyone wandering around near.

 

 

I know 2 people (at small companies) that have succeeded in getting fiber 

run out to their location and the lines broken off there  It was about half

a racks worth of telco equipment (locked) in their facility.  It really facilitated 

local loop installation.  You might want to pursue this.
