The only way this could possibly work is direct billing to those consuming the resources by everyone who's resources are being consumed across the entire network.
When I buy a hamburger from Burger King, I just pay for the hamburger. Burger King needs to get beef and pays for the beef using the money they got from me for the hamburger. No problem.
This is a poor analogy, since there is nothing McDonald's customers do which affects Burger King's customers in the same way as JoeISP's customer's deaggregation affects JaneISP's customers.
This is not entirely correct. McDonald's customers may choose to stand in front of Burger Kings blocking traffic to it. Alex
