Don't forget the biggie.  These are "shared use facilities."  People who
buy space in collocation facilities already have lower security

their payment clears.

Very true. If you have an application that requires a high level of
security, in a perfect world you'd have the budget to put it in your
own facility where you control physical access, not outsourced
security from a colo vendor.
