It also seems to me that tier 1s that try to get revenue from hosting and data centers ends up shooting themselves in the foot when they refuse to peer with broadband providers. They get paid by people who want good connectivity. Big web customer wants the guy at the end of the broadband connection to have a good experience. Tier 1, by depeering or not peering is keeping paying clients from have an optimized network environment. The smart customers start checking out alternatives where they are not blocked from optimum network performance by the policies of a peer unfriendly tier 1 hosting company. Vijay is correct that the peering is based on both parties perceived value. IMHO - Some of the tier 1 highly over value themselves (in terms of network importance) to the detriment of those tier 1s' customers and cashflow.
What about the other way around, eyeball providers who depeer content providers so they can try to sell content hosting. I think this is something Vijay may be more familiar with. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
