This whole problem smacks to me of exchange points that are "too big to fail". Since some of these exchanges are so big, everyone else must bend to their needs. I think the world would be a better place if some of these were broken up into smaller exchanges and they imposed less restrictions on their participants.

You forgot to add "and would break down on a weekly basis". The restrictions that IXPs impose on their customers have nothing to do with the size of their peering LAN, but everything with offering a reliable service to these same customers. Kind regards, Martin
