Your ISP could refuse service. This has happened. If you manage to start an ISP people could refuse to peer.

- parliament32 6y agoIf you run your own AS you can buy bandwidth from literally any carrier, they famously don't give a triangular shit about what you do.

- korethr 6y agoYes, but be honest, how many people can easily get their own AS? The barriers to getting an AS number are by design higher than the barriers to getting hosting with a random provider. If I can prove I have hundreds of hosts I want to connect to the Internet, I can probably successfully get an AS number and get in line for a slice IPv4 space when one becomes available. Joe Random probably can't.
