But if someone wanted to get co-lo space and pay the ethernet or fddi or atm or ... charge and maintain the machine, what issues would there be? Well, you obviously wouldn't let someone just put a web server on the NAP IP space, since most everyone in the world has a route to that block (usually a /24)... So probably the "community" or the exchange point operator would have to feel comfortable that the machine being put at the exchange point was of a community service.
