Re: Policy Statement on Address Space Allocations

It had been pointed out several times before that hierarchical routing
has an *inherently* monopolistic aspect - it ties an organization
whose addresses have to be aggregated with the organization that
aggregates these addresses (aggregator).

Having an open consortium / association managing large aggregated
spaces therefore is somewhat beneficial, in that it isn't competing
with its members at any level.
