Hey Jeremy

One assumes it was for commercial reasons, and not just to be utter
bastards.  The question is: what _specifically_ are those commercial
reasons?  How do they make more money if they depeer?

I get the vague idea that other networks will now have to pay more to
get onto their network, and Telstra will now pay more to go the other
way.  If more traffic goes onto Telstra's network from WIX than off to
WIX, Telstra win.  But then I don't really understand how traffic is
charged for in the big bad world of ISPs, so I'm probably talking out
my rear.
