Indeed it is. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network for more information. I'm guessing you are using Tier 1 to refer to $LARGE_TELCOS (ATT/VZ/L3)
and I'm guessing their sustained daily traffic volume is well over 10tb.
The top few networks in the world (not all of them are "tier 1 ISPs" - and one is not even a network :)
Facebook and google probably push that much traffic daily. I used to work for a company that did 100Gbps sustained on a daily basis.
are much larger. The smaller "tier 1s" are probably that size or less.
I agree.
