Peering Policy ( was Re: AGIS/DIGEX )

So far from what I have gathered, everyone is afraid of being used as a transit point. There is a very simple solution available which I can't figure out why people are not using. Both peers charge each other for the bits being peered. So now if one peer is being used as a transit point, then they get compensated for it. Eg AAA BBB 15443621 bits -> 15443621 bits 20000000 bits <- 20000000 bits Difference 4556379 bits additional sent from BBB to AAA Applying lets say 1 cent per 100 bit charge, AAA gets $455.64 from BBB Simple!!!! Now with this kind of peering arrangement, no one has to be worried about being used as a transit point -- infact they will want to be used as a transit point. This will also allow medium sized ISPs to peer with each-other. So here is my question -- why is this kind of arrangement not being used anywhere??? Pritish - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
