This is not a problem. The sales teams within a network operator that operates a peered network needs to know why peering provides advantages other than pure cost. When competing for business from non-peered networks a peered network can highlight the following plus points. There are more... -Improved routing control/path quality -Peering can lower latency and congestion -Industry community presence -Increased marketable assets including technical prowess. There will be some business models that won't need these advantages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMRkUFnucnU :))) Regards Mark
