Yeah hence my point about the numbers being out of whack quite a bit ... the point he's making is correct overall though....
"If you assume the cost of public peering is $10,000/month ($2500 for a 10G public peering port and $7500 for colo, power, transport, equipment, etc.)," $2500 for 10G port - yeah, most expensive port I've seen on the major IXP's after contract negotiations has been around $1200/month for 10G. $7500 for colocation is qualified as cost recovery for equipment so that's pretty "open" and could be justified. If you looked at $350k in equipment (which is about right for some companies) to build a peering POP and amortized that out over 5 years and added in space/power it's not far off really. And yes, there are companies that put $350k worth of gear into POP's for peering/transit .. not uncommon at all.
