how would you guarantee connectivity?
should each isp present should provide bandwidth as part of collocation expenses?
should the opexes be included in the colo bill?
and then - this would probably make the colo becoming a connectivity provider, wouldn't it?
Hi,

provider, wouldn't it?
I think Arnold has a point. The internet-community as a whole has benefits
in more secondaries and I for myself would not mind paying a tiny bit of
the costs in my IX-connection-fee's. I can image more parties share this
feeling.
how would you guarantee connectivity?
as you have a lot of ISPs around you it should be really easy to get some
connectivity. Very easy: tell some friendly ISP to announce your prefix/AS
to outside.

What do you mean by this? If some ISP want to donate bw, nice. If not also Ok.
should the opexes be included in the colo bill?
Which colo bill?
and then - this would probably make the colo becoming a connectivity provider, wouldn't it?
Not necessarily. This much depends on your IXP model. Let's take DE-CIX.
There is an association running DE-CIX, but InterXion as colo partner takes
cae for a lot of things. If DE-CIX would offer infrastructural services,
InterXion still would remain a simple colo provider.
