As you mentioned, regulation (or a government run and regulated backbone);Which government?First, let me say that I think peering regulation is a terrible idea. No matter how cleverly you plan it, the result will be that fewer small companies can participate. That's the character of regulation: compliance creates more barriers to entry than it removes.
The problem isn't that which networks don't peer with each other it is that some networks don't buy transit from anyone. That is what causes partition related outages and distortions in peering policies.If regulation could be part of the 'solution' then that would be the place to start.
But despite the flaws with the current environment it really isn't that bad and any regulation would likely be a disaster for the industry. - Kevin
