Aside from the discussion "what it really
costs", this is one reason why I think
the deployment of access routers around the world should be coordinated by ARDC
instead of being an individual effort by hams around the world each serving only
their local region. Certainly there should be room for that, but it should not
be the only option.
This would be a good start :-)
But I think we should also try to normalize the portion between those
"Access Routers" (let's call them "POPs") and the endpoint
routers.
Having a common system for all the endpoints, all over the world, is the
best solution for developers to adopt it. We'll get more "plug and play"
solutions, more integration in various existing systems, and more users.
A D-Star or DMR repeater works everywhere in the world, because
protocols are (somewhat) standardized. Just provide the IP of a
reflector / master server (of your choice), choose your protocol (there
are several), and it works ! We should be able to achieve the same goal
for 44net addressing. If the protocols and routing policies are
standardized, anybody is free to implement them with the hardware /
software of its choice (Linux, Windows, Mikrotik, Raspberry Pi, OpenWRT,
etc...).
