I'm told second hand that when MCI/worldcom (now Verizon Business)
controlled 8100 Boone Blvd (the early MAE-East) you had to buy a data
circuit from them to get between floors. Not a cable or a
cross-connect. A data circuit at the 0-mile tariffed price.

I know first hand that when I bought a Verizon Business data circuit
at a carrier-neutral colo and asked them to move the IP addresses from
my Verizon Business colo to the data circuit, they refused. It took me
longer but I canceled the colo anyway. And the circuit too. Jerks.
