                    <div>I'm curious how the datacenters feel about
                      potentially losing all this cross connect
                      revenue.  It has to be a pretty fair chunk of
                      their profit.  We all know that it doesn't cost
                      $225/month (>$8k over 3 years) for 50m of fibre
                      to sit in a tray, but we know that that 10Kva of
                      redundant, protected power and cooling is worth
                      every cent we pay for it.<br>
                      <br>
                      I think Macca raised a reasonable point...
                      everything on 1 physical port is crazy.  But
                      everyone else has made the obvious conclusion that
                      Megaport[S] open up some fantastic options for us
                      all.    How exactly does the service work if we
                      take 2 ports? Are they aggregated or
                      active/standby ? Is it the same cost to take up
                      the 2nd port?<br>
