The world does not need full solutions.

In regard to IP addressing policy, it is sufficient for the
RIRs to start doing things more wisely. If the RIRs would open
up another 1/8th of the IPv6 address space for geotop allocations
then they would no longer be blocking this solution.

It is not up to the RIRs to tell ISPs how to operate their
networks, i.e. the RIRs cannot say that ISPs must accept
announcements of PI /26s allocated by the RIRs. The ISPs are
in control of what they do. But, in the area of geo-topological
aggregation of announcements, ISPs are currently prevented
from acting because the RIRs won't give out geotop allocations.
