[AusNOG] Peering Providers

[Paul Julian]

Question to the knowledgeable....
 
Is a business which does only peering between service providers classed as a service provider themselves ?
In other words if you are only passing data between one entity and another, and you don't provide any services except for the connectivity to pass that data would that still classify you as a service provider ?
 
I suppose an example would be a peering company like Megaport (just an example), if they are just passing data through from people to other people without doing anything with that data or providing any services like email of website hosting etc, are they are service provider ?
 
Sorry if it's a stupid question but I am curious.
 
Regards
Paul
