        I agree.  Determining who these handful of people are should
be reasonably easy, they tend to be large sites already dedicated to
providing such services though.  A clear example of someone in the future
would be a streaming audio/video site with the latest and greatest
technology.

        I was curious, so took a quick look at the cnn.com
bgp announcement (/24), if you look at this, and think for a
second, if they (AS5662) were connected to MCI/CW rather than
Sprint, they would be unreachable with this announcement, other
than the fact that ANS would be announcing the aggregate, and following
that path, rather than having the actual as-path be traversed.
