This is exactly the type of mentality that the address ownership draft addresses, and without the word 'mandatory' appearing anywhere in the text.
This attitude of non-cooperation is shameful.
I agree, and do not support it in any way (please, don't flame *ME*) I just have this ..er.. funny feeling that cooperation among small ISPs that are fighting with everyone else for that smaller and smaller piece of the pie is not going to be the easiest thing to make work. I agree.. creating small groups of ISPs that cooperate on addressing in geographic areas connecting to major service points would be the best thing in the world. If we could agree to cooperate, we would not have the quagmire that we have now, agreed? Business nature (and dog-eat-dog economics) force non-cooperation at the low (and high) end.
