Generally these decisions are not made by CEOs. They are made by powerhungry network architects at NANOG shindigs. You can picture the scene, vendor sponsored "Cocktail Parties" with bad 80's music, a 1990's wardrobe and ZERO women. These dudes strike up their lovely peering deals after they are wasted on 2 Bud lights, of course they can remove this privilege in heart-beat if you diss their hardware, or top-post on their mailing list.
Tier 1 peering needs to be regulated in certain situations. The Cogent and Level 3 "who has the bigger dick" contest has caused isolated pockets where full routes/reachability to certain parts of the Internet wasn't available for some Cogent and L3 downstream customers. Get these big boys to maintain settlement free peering when a certain amount of the routing table "belongs" to them. simple.
In Holland, KPN and resellers of their local loop have offered DSL service without POTS from a long time. There is talk of this happening in the UK too, but the BT (UK local incumbant) ordering process uses the subscriber POTS number for order provisioning and customer pinpointing, a new method using post code and house number is going to be used. Methinks that this will take 2 years to get right.
Who limits the domestic vs international traffic? Cabovisao? as TVCabo doesnt. One thing I have noticed is that most European traffic that isnt offloaded at the PIX goes to the US (where marconi buys their transit from) and back again. BTW I thought that PT offered 1Mb/s ADSL connections.
exactly, I was the guy who submitted, and it was info that I thought that slashdot readers would want to read. I didnt expect someone to nitpick over the headline.. I wont bother next time....

I thought I'd host it in full as well as the .torrent

Your comment is bloody pedantic. "AT&T Kills Lab that Created VNC" is hardly the Queens English either!
