special construction charges, I've found most ILECs are willing to use
your plant.
Not in provider/colo land. The LEC's will and do pay for
rack space. Most will gladly use protected power to their
rectifiers and not use battery if offerred.
But remember, the ILEC is stuck with servicing
that building
long after you may disappear.
Which is a good reason not to allow any dependancies
out of their control. This is in the enterprises
interest. Co mingling with the enterprise is a very
bad idea.
