I'm not sure anyone is marginalizing them.

The point just is that are those very big, international networks advertising the same aggregate in all the places they (publicly) connect to the net, and no more specifics anywhere?

I.e., what I'd like to see is a couple of example of international big enterprises which would not need to advertise the more specifics to Internet anywhere. How rare is this?
