I'm really happy for you to sell me some transit as long as I can peer  
with you over MLP as well.  Small commit.  I agree to give you some of  
my prefixes over the paid session, but I'm going to put all of my  
routes and my customer's routes on the MLP.

With any luck you wont notice, just be happy that you suddenly seem to  
be selling more transit via your upstreams and also peering off more  
data too..  :-)
