Which will also filter down to other smaller guys, no? The
larger networks are fulfilling their needs so that they can
continue to grow their networks and their customers
networks. Theoretically, all that would happen is that
"smaller guys" with PI would have to resort to asking for
"PA". All considered, that's better than getting nothing  or
stifling growth of others. Seems most fair to allow the
system to operate on a needs basis right to the end, IMHO.
