I have done no analysis, but I do believe this is having an effect
on the number of prefixes announced by many of the players involved.
Looking at the top 10-20 peers over here, all of them show prefixes
announced by the peers to be growing faster than the global prefix
table.  The only way that makes sense is if existing prefixes are
being announced through additional providers.

It would be interesting to see those more into BGP routing analysis
to look at that (possible) trend.  It's probably causing a shift
in how BGP processing occures on both a device and a network level
(more redundant paths) which could have implications for future
gear.
