The general attitude towards peering is that:
Peering is an issue for RSPs to deal with in the context of UFB so "is up to the market" to decide.
This makes sense. As underwhelmed by the ComCom report as I was, I'm not totally convinced there is a significant peering issue. I'm thinking some kind of statement around market power abuse with regards to peering, but ultimately it is a commercial/market issue and for the most part it seems entirely manageable in New Zealand at this time (and in the immediate-ish future). If someone turned up with 40Gbps of traffic today between two operators, I suspect those two operators would be only two happy to interconnect vigorously. Just think of all that over-cap-charging revenue!
