Sure, allow me to connect the dots.
1. The existence of common "peering" relationships can be attributed to
the lack of any standard basis for a transaction in the Internet
environment.
2. The existence of nTH percentile billing can be attributed to the lack
of any standard basis for a transaction in the Internet environment.
Therefore:
1. The PSI/CW scenario is a relfection of an inequitable
relationship. Stand in awe of the effeciency.
2. nTH percentile billing is a reflection of a hierarchy of inequitable
relationships.
At least, thats my opinion.
