Down side: This seems to cater to those places with an incumbent telco monopoly - if there's competition, we probably long term end up with pretty massive deaggregation anyhow. (Imagine 3 telcos, each with their own pipe across the border that land at different places....) Up side: It's a lot easier to track down all the netblocks said telco has when you decide you're fed up with their non-stellar [email protected] response. At least we'd minimize the accidental collateral damage we see now in IPv4 when a site that's fed up with Chinese/Korean spam blocks the whole /8 and takes part of Australia or New Zealand with it.... What will probably actually happen - the incumbent telco will get their prefix, and the abusive users will find ways to get an announcement of their sub-allocation of a regional prefix anyhow (so we end up with the worst of both worlds)...
