It's not big difference for us if there is 1 or 10 big ISP who make filtering.
I must repeat - it's not important for the small ISP and small enterprises how many ISP over the world produce filtering - it's important if the filtering exist somewhere or not.
Well, that's not quite true. If it's only one or two and they don't filter their own customers, an ISP can simply get a T1 to everyone who filters and keep their small blocks working.
It's amazing - if I'll recomend our small ISP bye 256K link Moscow/USA (Sprint), guess what they say. But I am misunderstanded at all - first (in September or earlier) no one Registry over the world could not allocate for multi-home customer address space less than /19 (32 networks) and this prevented many enterprices or institutes from multihome connection to the Internet; just now (due to your answers) nobody filter our 195.xx or other RIPE's blocks except to /24 prefix; does it mean customers can get multihome access if they have /22 or /20 address space? And why Spring (and AGIS) have changed their filtering policy? Was it my imagination or they have filtered 195.xx block to /19 prefixes?
