Personally, I don't see this as a bad thing. Open disclosure of peering relationships strikes me as a "sunlight is the best disinfectant" kind of situation.
Will they be making this information public or accepting it under seal? If they're making it public, then, I think overall it's a good thing. If not, then it's just another burdensome regulation without much public good. Owen On Mar 30, 2012, at 11:21 AM, Raphael MAUNIER wrote: > Hello All, > > This is now the end.
