Isn't there some issue like MCI and Sprint not being at 4 common NAPs w/
UUNet?
I know there is private peering going on, esp in St. Louis, but I think
the blanket peering requirments that get exceptions (ala AGIS' 5 NAP
requirement) are just a yard stick. If you aren't able to afford
800k/month, don't even bother (basically). Granted, those figures don't
seem as horrible as they were about, oh, 4 years ago...
