Their other argument against peering with ISPs is that apparently we give free colocation to "hosters" (I assume he means content heavy sites or big webhosting firms) in order to build traffic volume to obtain peering.
Uh .. are you sure that's what they said. Because nobody else except TelstraClear charges for peering. So I'm guessing that the business model that the person you talked to imagines everyone else has is something like: 1) Free co-location to generate traffic to peers across IXes 2) Free peering connectvity across IXes 3) Spam NZNOG members 4) Profit!
