Until the smaller companies get bought out by OneM^H^H^H^H a national
provider who has no interest in peering.
Quite frankly, it seems that most smaller companies have no clue what the
heck peering is or why it's good. I've approached a few, and none seem to
get it.
One (cable company, mind you) wanted to *charge more for peering than for
transit*. They thought that we would be getting some sort of "priority
access" to their network, and wanted to charge a hefty price... and this
was talking to a net admin, not a droid. Jeez.
