as you have a lot of ISPs around you it should be really easy to get some
connectivity. Very easy: tell some friendly ISP to announce your prefix/AS

What do you mean by this? If some ISP want to donate bw, nice. If not also Ok.

Which colo bill?

Not necessarily. This much depends on your IXP model. Let's take DE-CIX. 
There is an association running DE-CIX, but InterXion as colo partner takes
cae for a lot of things. If DE-CIX would offer infrastructural services,
InterXion still would remain a simple colo provider.
