Matt Any2 is open to support any initiative that will reinforce development of networks and creativity within the Internet-connected community. There have been somewhat successful initiatives at locations such as the SIX to interconnect exchange points, and Any2 is open to contributing to similar projects. In locations such as California and Washington DC, Equinix and CRG West have many common facility-based and services networks. A tenant in either location should find it fairly easy to interconnect with a 3rd party between the facilities. To my knowledge CRG West, Equinix, S&D, Savvis, nor any other collocation or IXP provider prejudices tenants for interconnections terminating beyond their demarcation point. We certainly do not prevent cross-connects outside of our properties to competitor sites. In a couple of our properties we even facility-manage multiple IXPs within the same building No desire to BORG operations!

There are lots of providers that can do connectivity between Any2 and Equinix. It has been suggested privately that some Equinix MSAs may prevent this sort of thing. In fact, to prevent this sort of thing, I suggested providing x-connects from 1275 AND Equinix to another facility to prevent Borg'ing ops in the future.
I am not aware of Any2 pricing, but I'm sure the 6 members of CRG K Street's Any2 would be happy to join any new initiative (either a larger Any2 or something new).
My understanding is that ports are currently free on Any2. I think I remember that normally they are $1000 annually for GigE. CRG has also indicated that they plan to interconnect their Any2 fabrics in NYC and Miami with DC much like they have done in California. -Matt
