<https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog67/survey>On the point raised by this
index of IXP costs - has anyone put together a table of information on the
opposite side of the question: What is the cost of establishing a PNI
direct crossconnect in a major IX point?
This varies widely by particular location and which real estate investment
company/datacenter developer happens to own a particular property.
There's to-remain-unnamed colo & power providers who like to get people
into a facility with cheap rack & power and then charge hundreds of dollars
per month per fiber pair for a regular 9/125 XC between two racks or cages
in the same facility.
Others where the cost is $0 monthly and you can pull your own fiber through
the overhead trays to establish PNI. Others where you pay monthly rent for
your own 144-strand 4U patch panel in a fiber MMR but the XCs between
panels are $0/MRC.
Also worth knowing for comparison to the spreadsheet in #3 below: To what
extent are intra-facility XC costs available without NDAs to publish and
share? Which colo facilities consider NRCs and MRCs for fiber XCs to be
proprietary information?
