Yes, the economics of routing are strange, and the lack of any real
strictures in the routing tables are testament to the observation that
despite more than two decades of tossing the idea around we've yet to
find the equivalent of a "route deaggregation tax" or a "route
advertisement tax" or any other mechanism that effectively turns the
routing space into a form of market that imposes some economic
constraints on the activity.

among other things, i suspect that the shadow of telco settlements makes
us shy away from this.
