I figure charging for each BGP changed advertisement could be done, like this, via some technical and commercial arrangements. However, it would only make a marginal impact on the routing scaling problem. Another arrangement might be to have some global registry of ASes and their PI prefixes - where the ASes have all agreed to pay some fee per update, to some central fund, and there is some technical arrangement to monitor the changes they make, so the payments can be seen to be correct. But how would that work? Some changes might not be detectable except very close to the upstream ISPs of each edge network.
