UUnet is especially "evil" in this respect, here in Denmark, UUnet is a relative small provider, but targets end users heavily, and thus wants to peer with the larger providers here, so their end users gets fast connectivity to domestic sites. But they only advertise their danish networks, and doesn't propagate our routes into the rest of AS702.
On the other hand, in countries where UUnet is the big player, like in the UK, they refuse to peer - very inconsistent ...
This has been standard UUnet policy since whenever. Evil is not quite the right word - that implies too much malicious forethought. "Greedy", "whinging", "selfish" spring more to mind. Peter
