Unet is, for example, one of the few (if not the only) ISP in The Netherlands that charges for *peering* (no, not transit, just peering).
I stand corrected on this bit. UUnet just has quite strong peering requirements. Anybody wanting to exchange traffic with UUnet while being unable to comply must become a customer, therefore.
More and more clued people I know are avoiding UUnet because they don't peer with the small but quickly growing ISPs. Most UUnet customers are getting worse and worse connectivity as other ISPs stop peering with UUnet, because UUnet is becoming less and less important. A nice downward spiral.
I do still think UUnet is in a downward spiral, just like C&W. Strong peering policies are not good for the Internet. Greetz, Peter.
