All 'big' isp's use both private peering-points as well as public. Problem is, if Tier1 operators was not allowed to manage private peering, connecting to services oversees would be a 90's experience at best. With DDOS attacks on strategic nodes outtakes that could disconnect entire countries wouldn't be unusual. Im not from the USA and do not have a detailed understanding of what 'Net Neutrality' means for you in terms of laws and practice. For me it seams quite sober to separate T1's and T2's peering with each other and data-centers vs T3's censoring end users by capping access to selected services. If anyone could clarify the 'scope' of Net Neutrality as the term is used in the US press that would be greatly helpfull.
