John, Yes, this is quite a common approach. Having rackspace and equipment in the DCs themselves means you can easily interconnect with others there, for instance buying transit, peeling off traffic to private interconnects, and connecting to other IXPs such as LONAP.
I don’t think Telehouse (for instance) sell quarter racks directly, but you can usually manage to buy this space from someone else; at one point LINX themselves were doing this.
