The Tables Have Turned For PSI And Peering

I think this is ironic, considering the history of what PSI has
done to de-peer with multiple companies. :wink:

Looks like nothing has changed to me - they are trying to sell you
transit.

"competitive transit" == "we want you to buy a circuit from us"

"settlement peering services" == "we want you to pay for peering"

This is a basic sales pitch, not a request for peering.

  Looks like business as usual to me:

My name is Nikki Mashack and I'm with PSINet. As you may know PSINet is a
Tier 1 ISP. Would you be interested in competitive transit or settlement
peering services from PSINet if we were colocated in the PAIX Palo Alto
facility?

  Key words: "settlement peering services." i.e. can you revenue
justify our entrance into PAIX. Ask them if they'll sell you their
stadium naming rights, instead.
