David,

    That certainly could have an impact, since I imagine that 
corporations that large are purchasing nice big (expensive) 
connections.  Having said that the cases I am familiar with were all 
dealt with at the technical level and a "business" rep wasn't involved.  
The BGP teams at the various providers tend to have a strong respect 
(much more so than their business leadership) for the RIRs, RFCs, and 
the various informal practices we've all dealt with that keep the 
Internet moving properly.
