Creating a consortium [akin to the NAP model] of small ISP's could easily resolve this problem, if all address space allocated to each ISP was contiguous and could be aggregated to a larger prefix.
But, this would require working with your direct competition in your local geographic area. Ain't gonna happen. No way, No How. The whole point of getting the bigger address space is to be better than your competition (multi-homed, etc etc.) (not that I don't *WANT* it to happen, it just isn't going to.) -abc \ Alan B.
