Well, they say they care - they say they make everyone tell them who they're peering with (at least one player) to get into the NAP, but I don't know that they really check that. Avi

Er, why did the exchange operator let you put a router on their switching fabric if you're not peering there with somebody? Are there actual cases of people with routers at NAPs/MAEs/xIXs who don't peer with anyone?
Sorry, I did not answer this fully in my last post. They do it because they want the $5,700 a month for the connection into the gigaswitch. They don't care if you have any peering at all.
