What proportion of providers are even close to meeting the requirements? No<br>
conventional RSPs that I can think of. And content providers are such a<br>
different business that them getting peering agreements has no bearing on the<br>
25+ year market distortion that the ACCC is meant to address.<br>
<br>
Do any of the peering exchanges or exchange-like businesses (aka megaport)<br>
come close to meeting the requirements? IOWs a peering aggregator a viable<br>
contender and do the agreements allow for such a possibility?<br>
