KB, upon further reflection,

"What I see from the above observation is that they may be missing a business opportunity. If I'm an ISP and want my traffic to traverse another providers backbone because they are greasy fast I would expect to pay for that access."

And they would, and probably do, on the exterior of their VPN. But I'm not clear as to who is doing the actual peering deals in all cases. I see room for confusion here with T's involvement in their backbone. In this regard, I'm not entirely clueless, but pretty close to it. <sour face symbol>

A fairly well written and recent article that treats the subject of peering can be found at:

data.com

I would caution, however, that this area is not one that can be clearly and succinctly covered in a single trade magazine article. But it's a good snapshot. See Table 3 while you're there.

Regards, Frank
