While there is no difference from a technology perspective,
there's also no benefit to be gained by interconnecting large
networks at a public (as opposed to private) interconnects.
One can certainly make the argument that running large traffic
flows through shared interconnects is bad engineering if a
private interconnects for such traffic are available.
