I think, like everything, this depends on circumstance. For example, we
are more or less a content provider. However, we do not source from a
single location. With 15 POPs spread throughout the US and Europe, and
more on the way, with exceedingly non-contiguous space obtained from 6
different upstreams, it would benefit ourselves as well as our many
providers to have our own PI space.
Of course, convincing ARIN of this is proving most difficult :)
