With 15 POPs spread throughout the US and Europe, and more on the way, with exceedingly non-contiguous space obtained from 6 different upstreams, it would benefit ourselves as well as our many providers to have our own PI space.
I suspect the number of organizations who can claim "it would benefit ourselves as well as our many providers" will greatly exceed the number of available routing slots before IPv6 comes anywhere close to being significantly deployed.
From everything I've read, an originization cannot announce another originizations address blocks to anyone else under ipv6. It's forbidden. This would make getting a top level block a REQUIREMENT to multihome unless you took multiple blocks from multiple providers, but
that gets messy. Jason
