Another possible disadvantage with 'free' peering is you may have a harder time getting the larger companies to deal with issues that arise surrounding that peering. They may feel they have no financial incentive to worry about it, and you really have no contractual leverage to get, for example, response time guarantees.
Isnt the financial issue and management overhead less (relatively) for a large company with a large well ordered NOC than that of a small one? So their only excuse remains the one that they 'think your too small to care' Steve
