Surely even assymetric peering agreements are mutually beneficial... ISPs are also content providers, either directly or through their customers... peering is going to have a flow-on effect in terms of reducing the cost of offering content to the people you peer with too, right?
Why all the focus on even or non-even-ness of up/down ratios in the first place?
