That is precisely why I am promoting the concept of
geo-topo addressing. This solves global routing table
problem by using roughly 5000 routes for city-based
aggregates to serve millions of PI address blocks.
And it can be done with no new protocols, no new
technology and no changes to the existing PA address
regime for ISPs which want to stick with pure classic
PA addresses. Only ISPs which want to offer services to
geo-topo address holders will need to make adjustments 
to their internal practices.
