On a slightly related topic, a US-based colo outfit used by a company I work with wants a fee to disconnect power to the cage. The tenant had been there for years and, at contract renewal time, was lobbied hard ($$) by the colo company to reduce power consumption. The tenant worked for a few months and freed up 20 power circuits. The colo then said that they had a disconnect fee for each power circuit. Now, I think a reasonable fee is $0. The colo wants considerably more. I won't bias you with the figure yet... please let me know what you think is reasonable, either by experience or just as a thought exercise. Thanks, -mark
