Sorry, by saying Peering I mean any kind of direct peering..
As to the other reason for running BGP, there are technical solutions to
get around this 'lack of cooperation'.
Personally speaking, asking for BGP peering on a 'resi' grade service is
like going to McDonalds, and asking for a cooking lesson from their Head
Chef.
No flame or offense intended.
Take us for example, we are an independent service provider,
technically, can we do bgp over a DSL connection, the answer is yes, can
we 'route' a class 'C' for someone purchasing a resi dsl service, the
answer is yes...
Now the real question you are asking ... (or complaining about) .... is
Do we want to do this ? from a business perspective ..answer is NO.....
from a Technical perspective... do we have the desire to support it ?
... answer is NO... .. Complex Routing and resi connections just don't
mix ... :)
So if we don't want to do this, why do you think or feel that VZ or any
other Large provider should do this ?
(besides. there is this other minor issue that their infrastructure
deployed to serve FIOS / Cable / ADSL / UVerse is not designed nor
capable of doing BGP with end-user connection / routers.. ).

'peering' really is a loaded term...
'settlement free peering' ?
'bgp peering' ?
there are other meanings as well, but I think in the case the person I
responded (Faisal?) was asking about he meant 'settlement free
peering', which I don't think is what Justin meant, Justin just wants
the same as most of the bgp speakers want: "multihoming".
