When one Internet T-1 is $1,200/month, getting a second T-1 for that price from another provider just to get an AS or PI is definitely cost-prohibitive and may go against their business plan. Our own company has just one upstream provider (from geographically diverse POPs), our state's telecom coop, and to multi-home solely to meet ARIN's policy doesn't make sense. Fortunately we were using enough address space to meet the /20 requirement. Charles, if you wrote a policy that allowed smaller ISPs to obtain a PI without the multihoming requirement if they demonstrated that multihoming was burdensome, I would support it at arin-ppml.

I'll happily 'multihome' anybody over a GRE tunnel if it helps ;-) -- Leigh ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
