Verizon: "Level 3's Selective Amnesia on Peering"

(Verizon): http://publicpolicy.verizon.com/blog/entry/level-3s-selective-amnesia-on-peering

    "Last week, Level 3 decided to call attention to their congested links
     into Verizon's network. Unlike other Content Delivery Networks (CDNs),
     which pay for connections into ISP networks to ensure they have
     adequate capacity to deliver the content they have been hired to
     deliver, Level 3 insists on only using its existing settlement-free
     peering links even though, as Level 3 surprisingly admits in their
     blog, these links are experiencing significant congestion. Level 3's
     solution? Rather than buy the capacity they need, Level 3 insists that
     Verizon should add capacity to the existing peering link for
     additional downstream traffic even though the traffic is already
     wildly out of balance."
