But that makes sense, because you *could* in theory, draw the power  
(and generate the heat) without giving them any notice whatsoever. And  
if your "neighbors" in the colo did so as well, you'd be raising a  
stink to high-heaven if the colo facility wasn't engineered to "remove  
the heat we paid for".

While, as a colo-occupant, I much prefer metered power, I can fully  
understand why metered-power is a bad model for colo facilities to use  
as a cost basis for their occupants.

Cheers,
