Unless you have a customer relationship with Exodus or BBN there is no point in arguing about what should happen with this particular case, and there is no point at all in arguing about what is the morally correct thing for the general case. The only way to determine the value of connecting network A to network B, in either sign or magnitude, is for A and B to negotiate a price, which may even be zero. And that's what's happening here, albeit in a unusually painful and visible way. If you have an opinion and are a customer of BBN or Exodus, tell them your opinion. Otherwise there is no need to care.
I disagree. Precedent, m'boy, precedent. There _is_ a reasonable derivation from the available facts, or at least a pattern to create one... _if_ people who have to make the judgement call don't see fit to toss it in the trash.
