I don't know a single ISP that wants to throttle growth by not accepting additional customers, BGP speaking or not.

Ran across more then one in the Idaho/Oregon/Washington State area that told me it was "too hard" for them to do BGP with customers, or my favorite, that it would cost over 1k USD for setup, and 500 USD a month to do a BGP session with them from our rack in their data center.
Some are either just lazy or incompetent.
Some just want to justify HUGE blocks of IP space to the RIR too. Andrew
