| Peering Don't forget peering. Google eliminates a lot of their transport costs by peering directly with large network providers. Not only is that good for Google, it is good for network providers because their transport costs are reduced.

Google will peer (paid or SFI) with just about anyone.
My ISP (Cablevision/OOL) hops directly out of their network right onto google's network...5 hops out of mine and then another 10 hops to google.com. |
