        i don't.   my assertion is that there are significant networks
        that don't ever touch what we think of as the "internet" but
        still use IP to push datagrams around...  and attempting to
        marginalize them as "fringe" networks that must use non-global
        addresses is, imho, arrogent at best.

I'm not sure anyone is marginalizing them.

The point just is that are those very big, international networks advertising the same aggregate in all the places they (publicly) connect to the net, and no more specifics anywhere?

I.e., what I'd like to see is a couple of example of international big enterprises which would not need to advertise the more specifics to Internet anywhere. How rare is this?
