Some ISPs charge for actual bits carried (peak usage, actual count, whatever) in addition to or instead of per port/circuit charges. Do any ISPs charge based on the number of announcements a customer advertises? If downstream advertisements became mainly smaller prefixes (say /24) that were not aggregatable by you as their upstream ISP, would you answer the above question differently? -ron
