In my opinion you are all overlooking one issue here. Our customers are the
reason we exist and providing global connectivity to customers is important.
Happy customers are important. If anyone forced you to peer with us,
I would have to say it was your customer who called you up and requested
that his company be able to access our network. The fellow I talked to
at Exodus felt the way I do and believed that if one of his customers
needed something that he was going to do his best to make it happen.
Again, not to harp on this particular situation, I just want to express that
many of these providers with the really strict peering policies have
some very unhappy customers (I have talked to quite a few of them). They
are unhappy because they can't get to all the destinations they need to. I
think in the end the customers will vote by connecting elsewhere.
Thanks!

The point was not who did what to whom. The point was bending policies due
to certain circumstances and forced peering due to these.
I do recall you having transit via geonet for a while however on the network in
question. Same issue, on a much smaller scale, than AGIS/Digex situation.
I agree with taking this offline, and discussing the "issue" rather than the
particular situation between our networks.
