That's probably why ATDN depeered ~20 networks over last few months,
while Comcast and Charter do not peer at all.

With transit bandwidth at 20k$/GE, and Equinix shared fabric now priced at
nearly half that, I don't see that many "content companies" peering all
that much.

Out of big eyeball networks, only SBC has reasonably open policy, rest are
attempting to force "content networks" into paid peering arrangements
using restrictive ratio requirements
