So there's empirical data that It Does Indeed Matter (at least to some people).
Anyway, all of the arguments for it, both pro and con, have been rehashed on this thread. The bottom line is that for most companies, it simply isn't worth the effort, but that for some NRENs, it is.
And NREN-NREN traffic typically does not traverse commercial IXen. (Even though ISTR Sunet and Nordunet having peerings configured on Netnod). Instead, from empire-building reasons or job security or "No research project is complete unless the professor gets a new laptop and a wavelength to CERN (or in USA, pick a DoE site) from the project money", NRENs build their own... I am convinced that some applications actually benefit from this, though.
Let's move on now.
