I got an email from Eric Brunner-Williams who hangs out on freebsd-isp and nanog that really sparked my interest. Go to
http://wampumpeag.net/vixie-personal-1U-colo.html
At the bottom of the page it reads:
"We've started the paperwork with the NCBA to form a real honest-to-goodness member-owned cooperative for bloggers, and a real honest-to-goodness member-owned cooperative for personal 1U colo is just a second set of paper.
This is about as vague as a price sheet can get, but this was where we were headed before Paul popped the question on NANOG, and in April we'll be accepting member 1U units."
