If it’s in an interduct by itself, how much would the square footage per
month occupied by the average cross connect be worth?

These big datacenter companies are REITs. Similar to self-storage units and apartment buildings, they exist to extract as much money as possible from the users. Nothing more or nothing less. The price relief only comes when the market is grossly overbuilt and if there is actual competition.
