Okay's let's say L3 gives in to Comcast and pays them. L3 then turns around and charges us (providers) more to cover the additional money they have to pay Comcast now.
Why don't you, and other providers, demand L3 give you the same settlement-free peering they want from Comcast? Then you won't need to
pay L3 anything because of L3's deal with Comcast?Oh, what? You say that L3 won't peer with you on a settlement-free basis, L3 wants you to pay them?
Or why don't you build a network to places that Comcast peers at; and bypass L3 completely and negotiate a peering relationship directly with Comcast?
Peering battles are so much fun because every side can think up all sorts of reasons why they should or should not pay or be paid. There is no right or wrong answer.
