I would not want to see the 10G customers subsidizing free 1G connections. I have no problem with the idea of $150/10G (though many would likely prefer an annual $1,800). However, I would suggest that if you are charging $150/10G, at least $20/1G ($240/1G/yr) would also be appropriate. (IIRC, the 10G ports are not 10x the cost of the 1G ports and there's some amount of overhead for maintaining the account, etc. This would also serve as somewhat of an incentive for people to move to 10G instead of multiple 1G ports which I think is better for the exchange and its participants.
I've always thought the idea of charging for the 1Gbps ports to be something that should be done but originally I was in the minority.
Free is cool too, though :)
