Those that operate NAPS have a tough job.  You have to satisfy 
the technical requirements without compromising yourself.  A tough
thing to do.  
Im my mind, a NAP provider must be able to show a couple of things:
	- meet the load (how big are the pipes?)
	- fair access  (do I get my monies worth?)
	- confidentiality (will you keep my conversations private?)
	- change (what will you do when the traffic loads get to much?)
	- competitive (can I get better bang4buck elsewhere?)
There are more...
