I do not believe your CEO is mistaken. I also do not believe you have missed
an announcement. But I do believe (with good cause and information) that the
rumor of impending peering charging policies is real and imminent. Due to
some non-disclosure issues I can say no more. Take your CEO's advice and
follow up on it. des

Subject: peering charges?
Curious thing, the CEO of my company called me the other
day and was worried about who we were peering with.
It seems someone put a bug in his ear that the larger
providers were about to start charging some of the smaller
providers for bilateral peering.
I haven't heard anything about that at all... so either
a) the ceo is mistaken
b) I've missed some important annoucement recently
either is possible.
Has anyone else heard anything about this?
Thanks,
davec
