What are you proposing?  Carrying each IPv4 address as a /32?  That is
over 4 billion routes.

Ahh yes, NAT is so good that things like netmeeting on that Windows box
are going to "Just Work" right?

The major change of the "www" was more / better porn in the packets.
What's your point?

Are you also proposing to require GLOBAL regulations that force national
networks with national aggregation points and national routing?
The network is not so easily broken up into geographical regions.

Do you really want to force all Polish companies to connect to the official
Polish network access point rather than however they want?
What about backbone providers that span countries?
