One can also play tricks with tunnels, so that the folk with long prefixes inside the consortium's aggregate can get to the consortium without anything else needing to know a route for the long prefix. The packets travel farther (from source to consortium, and then from consortium to destination via the tunnel), but that's OK, because both the destination and the consortium are paying. --apb (Alan Barrett)
