If somebody's paying you $n/megabyte for transit/connectivity, what's your incentive to make them clean up their act and get rid of their P2P filesharing traffic, spam traffic, and so on? Serious question, that - how many long-haul providers would be in serious trouble if all the spam and filesharing suddenly stopped and only legitimate traffic travelled through their pipes?
