An informal survey... round II

So with a fairly predictable growth of 3500 routes per month, we're going to have some issues with the current equipment out there (despite this being a rather predictable situation...) So what might happen in three years if we have a sudden inflection in new routes per month due to use by major

Consider large ISP's that can no longer obtain from the large blocks (e.g. /12 to /16) but instead must beg/barter/borrow blocks from others which are several orders of magnitude smaller (e.g. /16 through /24) every week to continue growing... such obtained blocks would be announced

Is there a possible revenue stream here for larger ISP's to begin charging their customers for not aggregating or to pay a clearing house to reaggregate them, mutual trades so you can accumulate enough of a block, approach current (non)users of space and buy out to build blocks they can sell

John -- Great panic starting question. I'd guess that by 2010, we'll be worried more about IPv6 growth than IPv4 growth but the archives will bite me in the you-know-where in 3 years when I'm wrong (in either direction). And then we'll talk about how fast FIBs get eaten with both IPv4

Considering Verizon's highly-connected position at the core of the IPv4 Internet, I would think that all it takes to cause a snowball effect, is for Verizon to start offering IPv6 transit and peering on the same terms as IPv4. If there is any company whose IPv6 plans we should be
