Whilst the rest of your message makes perfect sense, I don't think
this does. Settlment peering can easilly be +ve sum for A&B. For
instance ISP C could lose out. Very few economic transactions are zero
sum (except perhaps under perfect competition). Consider the limiting
case where A sells B transit. Hopefully this is not zero sum or we
should be looking for other jobs...
