From that perspective I seem to see 2 aspects in the recent discussion:
- you shall not receive address space for builing a service, you are to buy that from some "big-folk".
This is an intersting point of view, and taken to the extreme will make us end up with a _very small_ number of _very big_ entities.
Traditionally these things were called monopolies. Nothing I would be too happy to see coming back ;-)
- there has been th discussion regarding "anycast" but isnt this just a special(?) case of th PI-topic?
You are right; the differences between PI and anycast are few. Perhaps it would be a (good?) idea to merge the anycast and PI discussion into a single discussion instead.
This is an intersting point of view, and taken to the extreme will make us end up with a _very small_ number of _very big_ entities.
Strictly speaking; All you need to do is to create a network and ask for address space. The "anycasters" won't even do that. They want the address space without the network. That is what I don't support. Joergen Hovland
