Yep, that's why we've loved using both for awhile. Level3/CenturyLink is often good for broad access and had great connectivity throughout the US, but then NTT has great reach through Asia, and Telia...

Power side I don't think we've seen a meaningful increase in costs at all over the past 10 years. There are certainly cheaper spots, but Chicago is SO much cheaper than the Northeast or California.
