Settlements in the ISP world are fairly byzantine and don't follow the
model used by public telephone carriers today (possible exceptions are some
of the arrangements for roaming and wholesale dial). Note the objections to
draft Recommendation D.iii in SG3. What you suggest here would require a
new business model, billing systems, OSS, etc. in the Service Providers(not
to mention supporting the QOS in the first place).  However, this is true
for the alternatives proposed as well.
