Some FCC employees read this forum. My impression is that they're not 
terribly far from concluding that closed peering policies are 
anti-competitive. When I have such impressions I'm usually off by 
years. Still, it would be nice if just once an industry cleaned itself 
up -before- regulators forced the issue.
