The marginal cost of half a rack being occupied by an IX switch in a multi-hundred-rack facility is negiglabe. Yes, it should carry a cost of a few hundred dollars per month in "rent", and the depreciation of the equipment is also a factor, but all-in-all these costs are not high and if an IX point rakes in $200k a year that should well compensate for these costs. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
