It totally makes sense that PVP corps will be the ones setting up POCOs in lowsec that give access to neutrals. They are the only guys equipped to protect against the destruction of the POCO.
Myself and a few guys in my corp looked into this ourselves, however we came to the conclusion that people don't come to lowsec for the PI wealth (the best planets are in WH with HS statics, and in nullsec) and they won't come to place factory planets here (the additional profit doesn't outway the risk. Not yet at least).
Most lowsec planets will be extracted for POS fuels. This doesn't really give an adequate income to cover the100 mil POCO costs.

Oh, I did some calculations today. Turns out apart from 3 exceptions that market prices (the lower, buy-order ones) are already high enough to cover highsec PI taxes even if I assume you export and re-import at every stage.
All you guys who said highsec PI for newbies was dead were wrong. Anyone can thoughtlessly make isk my passively extracting PI materials - so long as they avoid Biofuels (P1), Guidance Systems (P3) and Planetary Vehicles (P3)

There's no real reason for PI goods to further increase in cost - the adjustment to the new PI tariffs has taken place. In fact, I expect some prices to decrease as margins become tighter. Whilst POCOs can undercut these margins, highsec tariff rates will set the standard prices in general.
Please bear in mind that the changes (to the tariff rates and the increase to 10%) has resulted in an effective increase of PI taxes of between 400,000-700,000k isk per P4 unit. Each 5% increase to PI tax rates causes a further 300,000-500,000k PI tax increase.
So I don't expect the PI changes to cause further effects to T2 prices. The biggest up coming change will be the fuel pellets and the homogenisation of fuels costs regardless of tower setup.
