This is the method I advocate. Each community pays for

When we say that Free Networks should allow free peering and free
transit to networks with which they also hold free peering agreements,
we are referring exactly to this.
I see this as as a way to recovering the idea of a free Internet.
The fact that at the top of the Internet "pyramid" the Tier 1 networks
use this strategy but anyone "below them" are required to pay is
interesting food for thought.
cheers.
