Traditionally peering happens between large players in the Internet market such as Telcos and ISPs, however there are also benefits for large sources or sinks of traffic to peer at a peering point for the same reasons as an ISP (it reduces their reliance on purchased transmit). Organisations that need to be multihomed may also choose to connect to their providers at a peering point.

An excellent introduction to peering is William B. Norton's paper "Internet Service Providers and Peering" downloadable from http://www.equinix.com/pdf/whitepapers/PeeringWP.2.pdf
Keep an eye out for other William B. Norton papers as well, they are usually highly informative and well researched.

!! Peering Discussion
Peering breaks down when peers are not honest brokers for their customers--widespread peering increases redundancy and reduces the pressure on long-distance links, but there are certain pricing schemes which do not provide incentive for peers to do this.

+Unfortunately the two largest telcos [Telecom] and [TelstraClear] no longer peer without charge, which causes problems when rats chew cables [http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/UNID/F45502DE448D9635CC2570260002CF04?OpenDocument&Highlight=2,rat].
