Good idea. People interested in information about various exchange points, such as pricing, how much are cross-connects, who to contact, etc should start with http://www.ep.net/ It has links to essentially all of the functioning exchange points in the world. Most exchange points have web sites with contact information, and sometimes pricing and other details. I think more information is better than less information. On the other hand, it is very difficult to keep lots of different places up to date. Nevertheless, I'll end up subscribing to any list which has information.

Correct. I've created this list because in asking around a bit there wasn't a resource for public discussions for those not currently in the exchanges, and people seemed to not know where to post questions to. (inet-access, nanog, isp-lists, etc).
They're not necessarily just for NANOG type 'outage' messages, but for general discussion on people looking for peers, finding out how much it costs for a cable run, who to contact for info, and other general chit-chat about the points.
