... but if rates could be advertised then there is still the option of
peering at $0 but those who didn't volunteer for financial disadvantage
could still use the system, lowering costs and prices right the way through
the chain.

Your point about premium rate type services is valid ofcourse: Peering

It is when the service is iteself disruptive and saving consumers money -
one man's premium is a discount to an incumbent customer.

We'd be happy to start you up with a GPA.


Thanks. Perhaps we can discuss that off-list.

All the best,
Simon
