Daniel, it shows that you live in the world where
1000+ internet service providers isn't reality yet :)

A half of them has to be explained how route announcement
is different from broadcasting.  Forget about good
citizenship -- they may be willing but they must be
educated first.
    [...]

Educated by whom?

It seems to me that this education is one of the services that small
ISPs ought to expect of their national service providers.

Conversely, it seems that the rest of the community ought to expect
that national service providers will be responsible for educating
their customers, (e.g., ISPs).

After all, if cooperation and education of new customers was important
when the Internet was younger, then it's all the more important now.
