I believe that a more constructive assessment is that enterprises are

    my persistent question to the enterprise operator is this:
    how frequently do you plan to switch your isp, or how many times
    did you do that in the past?

That's actually irrelevant.  Regardless of the real answer,  
enterprises are not willing to buy into vendor lock.

      Except there really is no vendor lock anymore.  It is
      possible to automate the entire renumbering process.  If
      there are spots where it is not automated then they should
      be found and fixed.

Oh man, that's rich.  Do you actually believe that?

I think you forgot to set your alarm clock and are living in that dream
world that I mentioned previously.
