 I understand. Serious customers will pay for a PNI. Industry partners
(other large telcos with whom they exchange a lot of traffic) will get a
PNI because it is more reliable/higher bandwidth/etc. An IX presence may
help customers who send voice traffic over the internet, but I suspect
those customers make up a small percentage of any given telco's revenue.
So, there's no incentive. Same reason NTT/Telia/Lumen/etc. won't peer with
you over an IX. Why would they, when they can sell you transit?
