Good point, Sean. The problem is the business process and the risk to the process, vs. the cost to fix it.

Seems the BGP will be the down fall of the internet, the sky is falling the sky is falling
Other than pending patents and a cool name Secure BGP, you still have the fundamental problem. Garbage In, Garbage Out. The only difference is now you have Secure Garbage(tm). There is a problem that needs to be solved. But like the whole micro-payments, SET, etc thing; if the solution is more complicated and more expensive than the alternatives; it won't get used no matter how "secure" it is.
