So what's your approach?  Close down the Internet?  Abandon PI?  Give
every ISP out there the money to sustain 4 billion routes?

(It's no more anticompetitive, btw, than charging for gasoline - those
who find it too expensive to use their car can use a bicycle.  Having
a policy that says "if you have less than 500 employees, you MUST NOT
have a routing table slot" - now *that* would be anticompetitive)
