how would you guarantee connectivity?
as you have a lot of ISPs around you it should be really easy to get some connectivity. Very easy: tell some friendly ISP to announce your prefix/AS to outside.
should each isp present should provide bandwidth as part of collocation expenses?
What do you mean by this? If some ISP want to donate bw, nice. If not also Ok.
should the opexes be included in the colo bill?
Which colo bill?
and then - this would probably make the colo becoming a connectivity provider, wouldn't it?
Not necessarily. This much depends on your IXP model. Let's take DE-CIX. There is an association running DE-CIX, but InterXion as colo partner takes cae for a lot of things. If DE-CIX would offer infrastructural services, InterXion still would remain a simple colo provider.
