Indeed.  I remember running a news server seven years or so ago and  
had helped set-up a beneficial peering system with a large ISP at the  
time who had trouble getting peering arrangements with BT (for  
whatever reason I can't remember now) with the small ISP I was  
working for .. until management decided to scrap the the thing and go  
with Giganews.
