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.

For a positive side effect, xcon pricing should bring greater demand to dwdm solutions, what would you recommend for 
an affordable 1u turnkey buy a pair and get >10<30 1g/10g maybe a couple of 40 even a 100g (and mon/expansion)?
