Some ISPs charge for actual bits carried (peak usage, actual count,
whatever) in addition to or instead of per port/circuit charges.
Do any ISPs charge based on the number of announcements a customer
advertises?
If downstream advertisements became mainly smaller prefixes (say /24)
that were not aggregatable by you as their upstream ISP, would you
answer the above question differently?
