Many DCs have a separate charge for the cable between your facility and 
the MMR and then for each actual XC within the MMR.  It's then pretty 
common to pay for/install a higher count cable than you anticipate 
immediately needing and then pay separately to have them actually 
connected to something both in non-recurring and recurring charges.

Many also charge separately for both halves of the X-conn - basically 
charging per CFA.  When this happens, it's a prime candidate for "each 
party pays their half".
