[AusNOG] ubiquitous peering

[Joseph Goldman]

The problem seems as you suggest, having full L3 gear at each POI, 
possible for some, not for others who would probably rather L2 link it 
straight back to a more central POP.

However the idea has merit, I believe Adam Internet do a similar thing 
with their ADSL2+ Infrastructure in South Australia. I only read a 
little bit about it but I believe it is what you are talking about 
(exchange based peering) but they control it in the sense of having a 
community server in that area (newsgroups or DC or <other p2p protocol>. 
I can't seem to find much info on it now though.
