Yes, the economics of routing are strange, and the lack of any real strictures in the routing tables are testament to the observation that despite more than two decades of tossing the idea around we've yet to find the equivalent of a "route deaggregation tax" or a "route advertisement tax" or any other mechanism that effectively turns the routing space into a form of market that imposes some economic constraints on the activity.

among other things, i suspect that the shadow of telco settlements makes us shy away from this. randy
