Brian, I don't expect a miracle in terms of aggregation initially. ISPs will aggregate only if they find a gain in it. But if there is a gain, they will. If your concern is that they will not cooperate because they would not want to announce a prefix that contains addresses that belong to their competitors, I have addressed it in a reply to kre a few minutes ago.
