I heard from one party that the free leased line offer from UTL is only one month and thus they found it hard to justify the recurrent leased line cost to thier boss.
Why can the IXP not allow connections via other means other than leased line? I wonder if AFSAT (which is in the same building as the IXP) has a leased line to the IXP?
It may be easier on the budgets of smaller ISPs to put up their own links (e.g. wireless links) to the IXP and thus have a one time cost. With the new wirless standard that could potentially be a 54 MB/s link from an ISP to the IXP.
My two cents

James, there is one more member setting up as we speak. I will update you and the rest of the community as soon as their circuit goes live. As for server co-lo, I shouldn't see a problem. However, I would recommend a 1U rackmountable server at this time. There isn't enough room to safely install any tower-tops at the exchange. Perhaps you could give more details on your needs.
