I wouldn't think that's toooo much of an issue. As far
as I understand it, you only get assigned a public AS
number if you're a m_a_j_o_r provider--like PSInet,
AT&T, MCI, etc...
If you're a mid-sized to smaller organization, you
probably can get by using a private AS from a larger
provider. Can s/body confirm this?
