In the US maybe. Cross-connect prices are much more reasonable in
Europe (€0 - €50/month).
Personally, I don't have a problem with MRCs when ordering
cross-connects: data centres are expensive to build and run. But yeah,
$300/m is nuts and that price point has zero relationship to the cost of
delivery of the service.
