 If this is true, it will be intersting to see when routing starts to
 break... So far no real networks have been connected to Infolan i
 presume, rather individual companies et c, with no other external
 interconnections, but...
 
why would routing break?  PSI has several national connections that
get their Internet access through PSI.  These national connections
have dozens of netorks each.

In addition there are 4 or 5 companies on Infolan who gain access through
these mechanisms.

We also seem to be able to deal with having a CIX connect to 5 other
networks (as we run CIX West) that include 500 networks - see cix.nets
available via anonymous ftp from cix.org.
