Others have said this, but it really does seem like there needs to be
pricing that allows for varying degrees of peering. It's a big jump from
"you pay for every byte" to "you pay us nothing". There are providers
who should fall between these extremes.
Rest assured that in the fullness of time, such providers will exist. The
market will force it. In the mean time, smaller providers who would like
to encourage such practices have a rather persuasive inducement towards
such a behavior: on your peering application, attach a check.
