[AusNOG] If you need an authorised Cabler for Globalswitch

[Matthew Moyle-Croft]

It maybe too late now that it's almost full, but one wonders if you  
could build a business as a cabler by purchasing two racks (MMR1, 2)  
and running cables (probably mainly fibre in GS) from each end of a  
xconnect to your racks rather than direct and then being able to sell  
xconnects by the month (ie.  first xconnect pays for the cabling,  
second, third hopefully ride for free as you can just patch inside  
your racks).

Just need a quick ordering/billing system and probably a systematic  
way of labeling each fibre tray and being able to do it at low cost so  
you don't burn TOO much.   Maybe an exclusive deal contract so people  
don't use you only for expensive runs.   At $100/month for a fibre  
xconnect it's probably a doable business as long as you have a bit of  
cash to burn to start up.

Bonus points for offering remote hands, shipping and box disposal.
