$350/mo seems to be standard. Our DCs are at $250.    Seems more like they held onto out of date pricing for a long 
time then realized it.

If it’s in an interduct by itself, how much would the square footage per

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.
