If there was a way that these costs were reallocated to the site that decided to be multihomed, then the economics of the situation would balance. Imagine paying US $10K/yr to advertise a single prefix and you would get to a point where people would make some more rational decisions that didn't pollute the global table.
Now there's a thought, and a pretty darned good one. But, where would the money go? Upstream(s)?
It would certainly encourage more forethought into advertisements and aggregation. But it leaves a lot of room for the economics to click.
