And neither is the staff to operate it, the support contracts, the rack space, the electricity, or the cross connects.

 

The "free peering" from the broadband past was not because peering was free.

	Thanks for clarifying that, I didn't even consider that they had to pay for peering per mbit!

Everything costs something. Even if it’s not charged by the megabit, owning and upgrading a half-million dollar peering router still ain’t free.
