Even if it's private, and assuming that you're clever enough not to peer
for a modem's worth of traffic, the cost is a no-brainer, IMHO.
Someone checks my math please:
At $20 per megabit for transit (which I find very low, but let's go for
it anyway) a GE link for peering with an average use of 10% means $24000
per year saved; pays for the xconnect.
