No, the open NAP's are bad engineering and the big players are fixing the topology by routing around them.
If you want a private interconnect to avoid having to deal with 100 peering requests per week from every Tom, Dick and Harriet's web page services, OK. But there isn't any gee-whiz technology that you can do at a private interconnect that you can't do at a NAP/MAE.
