Yes, from personal experience BCP 38 should never be implemented buy a transit provider as it will inevitably cause 
breakage on multi-homed downstream customers for little to no gain and a lot of customer anger. It should be 
implemented at the customer edge AS, so for a wholesale transit provider is more of a customer education situation.  By 
all means use prefix lists to prevent your customer networks being received anywhere but directly from your customers 
to prevent them using your capacity without paying for it however.
