Sorry I can't agree with you there. Organizations that really need this are generally very professional (ok not always but they they can hire a professional for them) and many times much larger than some ISPs. I think it is unfair to say that a non-ISP business is per definition not able to handle routing networks. I have just seen the 2nd fully uncordinated, but promissed to be smooth, transition of network connectivity by a large ISP in NL so I guess we all make mistakes. Could we leave emotions and kingdoms out of the discussion and focus on the real issue of a large network that happens not to be an ISP that needs solid connectivity to the net and has a large world-wide internal network managed by professionals....
