    It is possible to effectively use multiple pipes into many ISPs
without the cost to all of us that introducing your prefix into the
DFZ has.

I am all ears as to how you propose I achieve provider independence
without introducing my prefix(es) into the DFZ.

eg, say I am connected to two upstreams, I would like to still
continue reachability with the global net in case of failure of one of
the upstreams (as wide failure), or a failure of an upstream POP
(which happens to be the only one in my LATA) from one of the
providers.
