Trying to decide if that is a workable alternative to dropping a router at NYIIX and using a conventional telco circuit.
As exchange points go NYIIX is one of most cost effective out there when measured by participants per dollar spent. Ports are cheap and gige is available at nominal cost (relative to other major exchanges). It may be worth your while to get a cabinet there as Telehouse's policy for cross connects is one of the most customer friendly out there: there is a one time charge for cross connects. If you compare that to the local loops you might otherwise need in the future and would be able to eliminate, that alone might make it worth it.
