Really? I always thought that higher profits and buying transit were mutual=
ly exclusive relative to higher profits and openly peering.
So what you are saying is that one stands to make more by paying upstreams f=
or bit swapping? How's that work?
If the argument is that the opex required for maintaining peering relationsh=
ips is too expensive relative to the direct and indirect cost of buying band=
width, I love to be edumacated on how that math actually works because it ma=
kes absolutely no sense to me.
