Not that much. One could apply more-specific filters to routes coming from other regions, so it *would* save something. Or the customer might
What's this "regions" you speak about ? We're a fairly small (in the global scheme of things) transit provider and we're connected to 4 continents. Are you thinking about toy ISPs with one transit and a connection to the local IX ?
I was speaking of RIR regions (which is the only thing that a router can filter on, provided ICANN will eventually start allocating decent chunks). Of course ISPs that are connected to all the regions will need to carry all more-specifics. Tough, cost of making business. There are different ISPs out there - those that are obviously large enough to not be called "toy ISPs", but still only active in one or two regions - so why should an ISP that's only active in the US carry more specifics from APNIC or Europe? Or vice versa?
