While if ENUM was working this would happen automatically. But this is like IXs, 
the big players do not really see it as in their interest to peer with small 
ISPs.  The PSTN access charges does change the equation a bit since they would 
save money even when talking to small ITSPs. I am assukming the cablecos are 
already peering or at least talking about peering among themselves.
