> So anyone have any insight as to who will be around within 3 years?

probably us, and people like us: 

  We fail the 'dog and pony show' aspect... 
  Our place is functional and comfortable, not a futuristic showplace.
  
  Our business is not only cash flow positive, but EVERYTHING is paid for. 
  land, building, equipment, generator.. except 3 vehicles. 

  Our employees are reasonably well paid, a little older and experienced
  and not frazzled. 
  
  Security: Manned 24/7/365 and _NO-ONE_ is un-escorted in the colo space. 
  We're also armed to the teeth. :)

  We've also been in business since 1989, and on-net since 1994 under the 
  same owners, management and core geeks. 

  We're in a non-glamourous telco heavy neighborhood.. Worldcom, Williams, 
  Sprint, Quest, etc.. all are neighbors. Not the sales office, the 
  switches.
