While I do assert the validity of concerns for the economic repercussions as a result of laissez-fair 'Internet' practices, I don't believe the sky is falling. There is enough economic strength to maintain the use we actually get out of necessary pipes, and continued growth will, in do time, supp

I switch traffic measured in gbits, and everything is kept on private peering at the moment (although that is likely to change in the not-too-distant future). I doubt I will push more than 200 on the public exchange I am thinking of joining... Many public exchanges either feature few large carri

Your argument, specifically regarding customer's expectations vis-a-vis their purchase agreement has nothing to do with peering and everything to do with connectivity. A customer has every right to expect connectivity to Internet destinations, but has no right to tell their provider HOW to do it

WCOM (or anyone) has a certain amount of cost (people, management, etc) to deal with a peer. If they are a respectable network, they notify their peers of maintenance, and field their calls when sessions disappear. A large ISPs fees generally tend to be higher than a Joe Six Pack ISP. Regional

1) I am sure we could bounce all our signals off of satellites too. We could pick a provider for our telecom needs that does not do mileage sensitive pricing, or we could just buy transit from another provider and run tunnels. That really isn't the point, you are running over mileage based pipes
