> What are the major iSP's incentives for not peering?
In the US, each peering agreement is a private agreement (ie. a contract) between 2 parties, usually with roughly equal bandwidth traffic.
If one party doesn't like you, perceives you as a competitor, or you don't have similar bandwidth, then no deal.
Examples of typical rejections are Cogent, who compete on price, and Netflix, who need last-mile acess to consumers.
