Dave, for IP if you wish. I would guess this could be overlap of timing between the FCC discussions and the always ongoing issues of interconnectivity (peering) in general. One factor not really covered in any of the articles is that interconnection arrangements (peering, paid peering, paid transit) between any two networks is both a business and engineering activity in continual flux, as is the ecosystem with bandwidth prices on a continual decline for the foreseeable future. My experience in the subject (open to correction) is that content providers and eyeball (end user heavy) networks of any sort, look to provide "good" service already actively seek to setup optimal peering arrangements with one another. Peering loosely defined as interconnectivity between any two networks. There are always costs no matter what flavor of interconnect is involved, so the costs of purchasing transit versus a private interconnect effectively becomes an cost lowering business issue. Another item that comes into the mix is simple leasing of fiber IRU's between various players in the ecosystem to enable connectivity on and off any network out there.
