Well yes, MFS has let a few people at MAE-East who did not have any
peering, but that was more because MFS was able to sell something the
customer had no clue about. MFS then let them out of the contract. There
are also providers that have only small number of peers and then dump the
rest of the data at some peer without them knowing.
