This is true, but there are plenty of other opportunities for peering, such as: both parties buy DS-3 class transit from the same tier-2 or even maybe tier-3 provider in a colo (which will likely be a BFM, other problem) not a formal IX. In other words, peering in an IX does cost money, but peering at a colo might not, as these messy colos are mostly unmanaged and nobody cares about that 25ft cross-over cable :-) Michel.
