If you have a medium/large international network you can implement anycast without using prefixes assigned to you by the RIR for anycast usage. If you do not have a medium/large international network then you can contact someone who has. If this is a question about money then I am sure some network operator eventually will lower their prices to meet your satisfaction. Company X/DENIC may contact company Y/MCI. MCI may place 500 DENIC servers around the world at their collocation facilities. MCI may then assign DENIC one /64 prefix from their /32 prefix which will be routed to the closest DENIC server in MCIs network. Would this be a suitable solution? This /32 has not been given to MCI by the RIR explicit for anycast purposes. The other solution is that DENIC builds their own international network and do the same - as long as the prefix has not been given to DENIC by the RIR solely for anycast purposes.
