Looking at it strictly from a technical level, there is little difference between a private interconnect and the connection between an ISP and their upstream provider if they have one. (we might consider debating this assumption especially in terms of scale :-))
Actually, the traditional point2point link between any two ISPs is a private interconnect. It does not have to be a provider/subscriber relationship. --bill
