I read through the introduction. This document seems like a good thing for everyone.


I'm about 50 pages in, reading a little bit at a time. Paragraph 31 is one that anyone who does peering or exchanges should read and understand. I take it to mean something like 'Guys who abuse peering and engage in peering disputes, take note of what we just did to the last mile people; you have been warned.' But, having read Commission R&O's before on the broadcast (Media Bureau) side of the house for years, maybe I'm a bit cynical.
Another 40 pages, and found the detailed paragraphs related to this introductory paragraph. Those here who know how peering works in the real world, read paragraphs 194 through 206 of this R&O, including footnotes, and see if the FCC 'gets it' when it comes to how peering works.
