I wouldn't hold my breath. Cogent is essentially offering to open addtional ports. The ports aren't needed on the Cogent side--they're needed on the Verizon side. Verizon's contention is that the Cogent / Verizon peering agreement is lopsided. Verizon is moving much more data from Cogent than they are sending to Cogent. Cogent essentially is offering addtional bandwidth to Verizon.
