I was speaking of RIR regions (which is the only thing that a router
can filter on, provided ICANN will eventually start allocating decent
chunks).

Of course ISPs that are connected to all the regions will need to carry
all more-specifics.  Tough, cost of making business.

There are different ISPs out there - those that are obviously large
enough to not be called "toy ISPs", but still only active in one or
two regions - so why should an ISP that's only active in the US carry
more specifics from APNIC or Europe?  Or vice versa?
