Hi John,

Even with cold-potato routing, there is an expense in handling increased
levels of traffic that is destined for your network.  This increase in traffic
often has no new revenue associated with it, because it is fanning out to
thousands of flat-rate consumer/small-business connections (e.g. DSL)
where billing is generally by peak capacity not usage.

not true for cogent tho, we know that virtually all their traffic is usage based 
transit customers
