Folks -
At some point, a society decides that X is important enough to the society as a whole, that something official is in the overall interest. Roads, immigration, whatever. That it's necessary to require that some things be done (or not be done).
Peering may very well not be in that category, however I think it's worth discussion.

My response would be to point out the behavior of the incumbents in the telcom industry vs. the upstarts; which are the ones responsible for most of the innovation that actually got delivered to the market? Regulations raise barriers to entry; which favors the incumbent over the upstart. Roads are a bad analogy and will only serve to obscure the discussion. --Patrick
