The cell phone analogy is a bit off target though, unless you want to
charge the recipient of the cell call.
The peering wars pretty much died in 95 when the fledgling internet
business wouldn't tolerate it then. I highly doubt that it would put up
with it now.
If AT&T, VZ, L3 & GX/XO/Gogent/other want/need more revenue for their
pipes, they will charge more.

Think about your cell phone. Do you get access to the entire Net or
only some of it?
Think about EVDO. Is it truly unlimited or are there rules and
enforcement?
It is not inconceivable that VZ and AT&T would design a Prodigy type
service and call it the Internet.
Personally, I would like to see a Truth in Advertising type law in
effect in place of NN, but it is conceivable that to get access to all
eyeballs you may have to buy 3 or 4 feeds - AT&T, VZ, L3 &
GX/XO/Cogent/other.
If peering changes, the ripple effect would be crazy. Most carriers
don't have the margin to change from peering to transit.
It isn't any one single thing happening that worries me, it is the
conflugence of so many things happening at the same time.
