Let me see if I understand this. Without PI, the enterprises say no, and
with
PI, the ISP's say no. Got it.
The ISPs fought it, but in the end they've accepted PI because the
enterprises are the ones paying their bills. If supporting PI raises their
costs, it'll raise _everyone's_ costs and the enterprises will continue to
pay.
Just out of curiousity, how do the enterprises expect to exhange bits
without
ISP's?
Lots of business associations _do_ operate private networks -- not connected
to the public Internet or any ISP -- to exchange bits with each other
reliably. Those folks generally do not participate in the IETF/RIR process,
so many forget they exist.
