    please consider that we get a higher speed 
connection to the space along with a block of 
static ip addresses so we can rent out rack 
space (to me and others) as well as support 
all noisebridge systems (maybe the renters 
could pay enough to cover the NB systems?). 
    costs include bandwidth, physical space, 
network equipment, and electricity. 
    i'd be willing to scout out others who'd 
be willing to pay rent for rack space.
