On the other hand, this could help balance traffic ratios, and make more
people qualify for peering with CW. Well probably not, considering their
requirements include winners like this:

    A. The applicant shall consistently announce at least 5000 routes to 
    AS3561 (way to encourage aggregation guys, no really, good job)

Hmm based on my current peers this would exclude the likes of Telstra,
Level3, HKT...

Bye bye Asia Pacific!

With luck it will throw their peering ratios out of balance and get THEM
depeered by someone. Oh well, I guess there is a reason the entire
industry calls them Clueless & Witless. :)

On another angle, if enough people refuse to take C&W routes from transit
preferring only peering.... nar, thats a conspiracy! Good plan tho.
