YES, just look at the data going over MAE-East and MAE-West a large amount of that traffic is for customer connectivity. I guess it will not mater most NSPs are setting up private peering, so the NAPs will soon just turn into a place to sell transit. I just think it did not need to turn out that way. Also of the current defaults at MAE-East most of them are not there with permission from the provider they are point to. I have had 2 peers at MAE-East point default to me in the last 3 months.
