Fine, I sence that this is what NSF, FARNET et c is trying to promote.

What I fear is that is the jungle of routing policy restrictions we
will loose connectivity, and add complexity to such an extent that
services may be hampered. Lets hope for the best...

Bear in mind, this is the US part of it, "our" end also have, or will
have a similiar "matrix", interconnecting these, with multiple paths
and policys, will be - interesting... Lets hope policy restrictions
does not prevent the network service (to much).
