If that were really true, and I suspect that it is only true
for the very largest providers, then there is an easy solution.
Providers who see no benefit in using geotop addressing should
continue to use classical IPv6 addressing.

Geotop addressing is not a prescription for rearchitecting
the Internet, just an enabler for ISPs who want to give small
and medium size organizations real multihomed diverse connectivity
to the Internet. These organizations will consume hundreds of
thousands of AS numbers and global routing slots unless their
routes can be collapsed into city aggregates.
