That it's a pure power play. Peering is only distantly associated with
costs or responsibilities. It has to do with what company has the
intestinal fortitude to draw a line in the sand and stick with it no
matter how many customers cancel their service. Those with a critical
mass of traffic and the right amount of guts win. Everyone else loses the
peering game.
