Oh, one other point - Verio accepts smaller announcements from their customers - and propagates them. I guess Verio agrees that other people can run networks with all the extra announcements, even if Verio themselves cannot.
The rationale stated in past threads is that Verio's customers pay for this service. Non-customers are not paying Verio for anything therefore they do not choose to accept the more specific announcements from other providers. Other providers have not taken this stance as shown by the list of those that accept more specifics from peers. cheers -cp
