The marginal cost of half a rack being occupied by an IX switch in a
multi-hundred-rack facility is negiglabe. Yes, it should carry a cost of a
few hundred dollars per month in "rent", and the depreciation of the
equipment is also a factor, but all-in-all these costs are not high and if
an IX point rakes in $200k a year that should well compensate for these
costs.
