- consz 10y agoYes, things costs money. It costs on the order of several thousand per month (on the upper end), not millions of dollars -- moreover, this is commensurate with the cost of actually running such a data center (which the exchange sponsoring the colo typically does). I would also argue that, for anyone who actually receives any benefit from being colocated, several thousand dollars a month in operating costs is not prohibitively expensive.
