Hmmh, so if they peered at the exchange point, they would break symmetry - nothing wrong with that. At the very least, their customers don't have to exchange traffic at the satellite provider's router. While it will appear as one hop, the latency doesn't justify the method. They can still receive the prefixes from their satellite network, and plug them into the exchange point fabric so their local customers can see each other better, minimize bandwidth utilization to local customers on their network, and help the entire industry. Mark.
