I suspect that any de-peering that is going on at TCL is based on business decisions which are not made by the geek crew. I don't think it's reasonable to attribute this stuff to those people.

Quite -- for the record, I wasn't doing that.

Perhaps the issue isn't whether peering is mutually beneficial but rather whether de-peering is mutually painful. If there's an inbalance of pain, there might be a competitive advantage that arises from doing it.

Very true, but is it a fair competitive advantage to be able to disrupt other networks operations like that? -- Juha
