Isn't the main reason you'd want to peer to enable you to get all traffic? especially when the barrier to entry for local peering is high due to needed your own inter metro capacity?

Cheers,

Note in the PDF which customers are *not* included.

Traffic not initially included:
  Corporate Internet Direct (CID)
  Global Gateway International (GGI)
  One Office
  Remote Office
  LLU Backhaul
  Telecom Dial-up
  Secure Business Internet
  Telecom Hosted applications
  School Zone
  Downstream GGI domestic
  Any customers with static IP addresses

Note the requirement to have a 24x7 NOC. You can get pretty big these 
days without having one. I suspect there are several in the top 50 largest 
websites in the world (eg Wikipedia, craigslist, reddit ).
