<div>To be clear, there is potential for a lot more operational coordination than simply BGP… just in routing, there’s also IRR and RPKI, but looking beyond there are also web servers, DNS servers, mail servers, etc. – all of which can result in others who
are running corresponding elements of Internet infrastructure having to reach the address holder, not just their directly-connected upstream carriers. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There’s nothing wrong with making use of Internet as a private individual and remaining that way, but to the extent that there’s Internet infrastructure originating traffic that’s truly autonomous from your upstream providers, then clear public attribution
of the responsible entity remains essential for maintaining smooth operation of Internet. (You may believe that it will never be your piece of the Internet at 3 AM on Sunday that’s injecting bad routes, relaying spam & phishing attacks, or serving as the
command/control network for botnets, but then again, that’s what everyone thinks…)</div>

We also need to understand that those individuals that decide to directly to connect to Internet and as you said “present them publicly", will only be able to do so via actual operators that provide them links with BGP, so that already ensures the operational
coordination. In the end is the same for any smaller ISP, the overall majority of them don’t get in touch with those hundred thousand global operators, but only with their directly connected carriers, and anyway, they are engaged in public activities.</div>
