Re: IPv6 Routing table will be bloated?

Why would the assumption be the ISP = knowledgeable or even caring about
RIRs, etc.?
When I started my ISP 6 years ago I knew someone issued IP addresses to
my upstream provider, but I really didn't care who that was. The
upstream took care of everything related to getting and assigning
addresses as far as I was concerned. Even when I changed upstream
providers they took care of the addresses. It was at that time I
realized I need to learn more about the whole IP address assignment
process so I wouldn't have to renumber next time I changed providers. I
dug far enough to find that my ISP was not big enough to get an
assignment and the required fee was more than the cost to renumber, so I
didn't look any farther.
So, as a log of start-ups and small businesses do, I learned enough to
make what I needed work, but not everything that may have been beneficial.

Wait... If you are issuing space to ISPs that are multihomed, they
should be getting their own addresses. Even if they aren't
multihomed, they should probably be getting their own addresses. Why
would you be supplying them with address space if they are an ISP?
Because they are my customer. They don't know much about RIRs, paying
membership fees, etc. They just know they want address space, and I
provide that.
If they are ISPs and don't know much about RIRs, can you please name them and provide their ASNs ... oh, wait ... they won't have an ASN if they don't know about RIRs and fees and such.
Something isn't passing the smell test here.
