I think there is in Australia ... 

Have a read of my previous emails.

If I was to build a very simple enterprise network between 8 capital
cities, with an single ethernet segment in each, and 7 wan links
connecting them, if I follow the current site-local definition
(geographical boundaries define site local boundaries), I think I'm
going to need 8 multi-site routers, and will have a total of 15
different site-local addressing instances.

Hmm, I think I'll just ignore the current site-local geographical
definition, and number all my links out of the 2^56 bit subnet address
space I have in a single site-local fec0::/10 address space. 

If nothing else, I don't want to pay the extra premium to a router
vendor to get a multi-site feature set on all the routers in this
network, just to follow a addressing name definition.

On the other hand, that additional feature set cost is likely to be
cheaper than the cost in explaining why every link in the network is
called a "site" to my boss. It could cost me my job.
