Given that three of the Gang of Four (Telstra/Reach, Optus/Singtel, AAPT/Telecom NZ) (hey all encumbents!) won't peer in Oz, even with Global Tier1s in Oz, it doesn't seem a big problem as the cost the GoF charge to access their network is so high (Does that mean there are no global tier 1s? :-) In Australia basically almost everyone bar the GoF peers at the major peering fabrics (PIPEx6, WAIXx1, Equinix Sydney) as it gives you such a large chunk of the eyeballs and corporates outside of the GoF. We peer with some of Telstra/Reaches upstreams in the US, but they won't peer in Oz. They won't even peer with some very large global tier2s.
