Great that we are doing this, but what does this list offer that we cannot gain from peeringdb? As I understand it, PeeringDB is restricted to those who are peering for Traffic; using *only* PeeringDB would therefore exclude people who are only doing "Content".

When some content provider's servers screw up and start throwing nasty traffic at you, it would be nice to be able to find them in the same place as network providers.
Conversely, when their servers start getting attacked by some ISP's customer, they need direct access to the ISP's NOC to get the issue sorted promptly.
Or do we all just resort to whois?
Aahh - wishes of fishes, stuff and things. AYJ
