UUNET has just posted their new peering policy:
...even if you don't like it, you have to give
them credit for finally making it available to
the public without requiring an NDA. ;->

Yup. A great move somehow..

This makes it very clear for those networks that want to consolidate their
operations and reduce their overall transit costs. For example: a
midsized access and a midsized web host could easily meet these
requirements for AS701 peering; depending on your definition of a midsized
host.

Hmm, what are they trying to prove? They want to own the Internet no
doubt. I'd prefer to pay another like Genuity for transit to UUNET than
pay them direct and feed their appetite for power.
I imagine the policy has come from some executive meeting where they
discuss ways to further capitalize on their existing market share..

Agreed. I am constantly telling UUNET sales monkeys that we'll gladly buy
transit directly from them, as soon as they meet or beat the $ per Mb/s
that we're currently getting. For now, I'll pay the 3ms "latency tax" to
save 50% on the transit bill.
(UUNET Sales Monkeys, do you read this list? STOP CALLING ME UNTIL YOU
FIX YOUR PRICES!)
Because, as we all know, Genuity has a much more generous
peering policy....
