Peering agreements have been falling apart for years. There are numerous cases where it is not clear, even to a disinterested observer, who should be paying whom.
If we get net neutrality or the like, I think at some level the thing that will ultimately disappear is the unlimited traffic packages available to the consumer as the heavily connected are being subsidized by those paying for a high speed connection but not sucking large amounts of data. If the ISPs can't charge the providers of those packets, they are going to have to charge the people requesting them.
