So I might be in the minority here, but I don't see the need to charge recurring fees, especially with the level of community involvement/donations we have seen with MICE.

This model has worked just fine for SIX (http://www.seattleix.net/intro.htm), and they are operating on a MUCH larger scale.

SFP = cost of GigE port
SFP + $5k = cost of 10GigE port

And no shortage of contributors: http://www.seattleix.net/contrib.htm
