Facility neutrality especially. If the IXP is inside a non-neutral DC,
it and its peers are always under constant threat of being squeezed out or
shutdown by any number of circumstances. If the co-lo business were
separate from the facility business, it may be a better environment since
the IXP could convince the facility to host it, which the co-lo business
could then be attracted to. All depends on the circumstances and
environment.
