    You have to look at economies of scale.  A small to medium sized
business cannot afford to colocate or purchase more reliable bandwidth.

That is utter bullshit.  Maybe they can't afford to colocate with Exodus but
there are definitely many places that a small business can EASILY afford to
colocate.

        Two of the most novel and low-cost colo sites that have been
        announced to this list are:

        ) the un-heated, no existing electrical, mind the hay, cows,
          and various other flora & fauna - Barn in northern Utah.

        ) the trunk of a Buick RoadMaster (supports wireless mobil
          access and its own power generator!)

and then there was the call to revamp MIR, before its untimly demise.
as with your bandwidth selections, your colo milage will vary.
