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.

in companies operating several XPs.
