Nothing worth doing. Bandwidth is too expensive in minneapolis.

Yup, I think it's in the $150 per mbps range for around a 10 mbps commitment.

Yes, it is too expensive. If they offered decently priced bandwidth; I'd have started business already. Heh.

I don't believe he was asking for prices.

I did a quick search on yahoo and found one that seemed to be decent.

Oh yeah.. i think a place called usinternet is in one of the minneapolis suburbs. They can probably colocate as well. No matter where you check it's going to be more expensive than other places in the united states.
