As we find ourselves turning to the Internet more and more to

My hope is that most people on this list already know this fact.
rpki is hardly crucial [1] :-) it is an_*important* step in securing
the internet, but it is not the *only* element that warrants addressing
inside a network. heck, it’s probably not even the *first* thing that
most networks should be doing! [2]. and there’s a very real problem,
with people thinking that “rpki will fix $this!” when, rpki won’t.
that’s not to say that you should not work at implementing rpki for
your network. just do *not* do this in isolation. *that* is the fact,
that i hope most people grok. follow the trail from bcp38 (rfc 2827,
and the later ones in the series..) instead.
Maybe you should focus instead on explaining the importance of
RPKI to some of the Tier 0 providers, sich as Cogent (AS174) and
Telia (AS1299)..
cogent and telia are already dropping rpki invalids, and have for some
time.
your favourite internet search engine should help you find the
appropriate press releases by the respective parties.

that is not a real-time view; even the good people at he.net will tell
you so.
