The first guy who gets a 4-byte AS number is going to be one of our
customers. If we want to be able to talk BGP with him, we need 4-byte
AS number support in our edge routers.
ISPs who have an interest in continuing to win transit customers past
2008/2009 should be interested in getting 4-byte AS number support,
regardless of how many 2-byte AS numbers they already have. ISPs who
plan to stop getting new customers don't need to bother :-)
