A direct feed from one exchange could be $10,000 to $60,000 a month.

That's way off the mark. It's more in the $1k - $3k range.

That's for a full colocation - not just a direct feed. The originally posted links are the correct prices for direct feeds.

You are referring to direct feed content, I was explaining (in the interview) direct feed speed and content. Who buys a direct feed for a speed advantage and then doesn't colocate?!
