Just because someone has 30% of the internet, they still have an interest in connecting their 30% of the net to .1% of the net, no?
Because they can already hit that .1% of the 'net already without peering with that smaller provider through that smaller provider's transit provider and peering: 1) Enables them to screw you up a little more than they otherwise could routing-wise 2) Provides them with free 'transit' across your backbone (even if it's to/from your customers) if the peer isn't multiple-exchange-point connected to some of the exchanges you are. 3) Has those political 'what is a peer' problems also.
