I'm constantly amazed at how access networks think they can charge 2/3 the price of full transit for just their routes when they represent less than 1/10th of the overall traffic volume. The math just doesn't work out. It's nothing about being tier 1, or bigger than someone else; it's just math, pure and simple.
I suppose because (in the context of Access networks) the most interested folk that would be even willing to consider paying them for their routes are the content owners. As a fellow middleman with no content on the backbone, I'd have little interest in paying an Access network for their routes, if it's cheaper to get to them through an existing peer or upstream. Mark.
