This will still be less than LL's colo / island rates, mostly because you will 
have to deal with the sim maintenance yourself and there will be no one there 
to manage your sim for you. If the fee is just for the space and bandwidth, I 
can see a lot of possible instability but quite a few people making quite a 
bit of money when their exchange is put into place.

just my $0.02.
