I like that idea, except for the problem that I don't want my neighbors to have access to the colo, or at least my feed, but I want access to my feed to I can reboot whatever device is connected there. There would have to be individual locked cages of some standard size so I could access and reboot or change my router out, but could not disconnect or modify my neighbors connection.
And then there's the matter of who's paying for it. Even if initial cost is covered by the home owners in a new development project, there is maintenance costs associated with such a setup. If the ILEC is responsible, but doesn't subsidize costs by controlling all customers or billing out to the other ISPs, it creates an unfair disadvantage on the ILEC. Jack
