[AusNOG] ubiquitous peering

[Tom Sykes]

This is one of the reasons why we are installing a series of RSP co-location racks in all the POIs (I.e to enable someone to setup a peering point of they wished. We understand traffic volumes today may not necessarily justify it just yet though)

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.
