Which leads to an interesting question.  If on top of your $100/month
"business class Internet" the provider were to charge $50/month for
"BGP Access" to cover their costs of having a human configure the
session, larger access gear to handle the routes, and larger backbone
gear to deal with a larger routing table, would you still be as
gung ho about BGP to the business?

Speaking for myself, yes, I'd pay the extra $50 and be glad. If it was
$500... well, I don't have that level of need for my basement. But I
have two clients who would gladly add $500 on top of a business fios
to get BGP.
