I have seen this in one facility. They just run 24 strand or whatever to 
patch panel in each customer cage. Then patch are done to those at the 
meet me room. When you exceed capacity they add another 24 strand. Seems 
smart (depending on cable cost and average utilization of the strands I 
suppose.) And of course you can get multiple feeds / entrances from them.
