I would have thought that constraining the telcos to there own racks and 
then selling the customers cross connects to get to the service was the 
sensible approach. How to get money out of the telco for the rack(s) is 
an exercise left to the reader. The alternative is having the telco 
running all sorts of cabling through the DC to delivery services to 
their customers and you don't want that.
