A good question.  The times I've done this it was part of a larger 
installation - someone in another department was paying the bill.  If I 
ever saw the bill I didn't care much :)

That's how larger blocks are sold.  A lot of corporations then resell the
space per rack unit as most small companies really only want 1 or 2U.
Quite a cottage industry has sprung up of people running a data centre
reseller service while they maintain a fulltime job.  It is quite a good 
fit as they can meet their clients after hours at the DC to provide 
access.

TCCP (http://www.tccp.ca) charges per RU with an additional flat fee for 
bandwidth (bursting costs more).

It all depends on the volume and whether you need to use a reseller.
