I got an email from Eric Brunner-Williams who hangs out on freebsd-isp 
and nanog that really sparked my interest.  Go to

 http://wampumpeag.net/vixie-personal-1U-colo.html

At the bottom of the page it reads:

"We've started the paperwork with the NCBA to form a real 
honest-to-goodness member-owned cooperative for bloggers, and a real 
honest-to-goodness member-owned cooperative for personal 1U colo is just 
a second set of paper.

This is about as vague as a price sheet can get, but this was where we 
were headed before Paul popped the question on NANOG, and in April we'll 
be accepting member 1U units."
