Bryan,
You have it backwards. UCSD lets us use their network connectivity for
free because it's beneficial for their research.
If they no longer find it useful then they may not be willing to
swallow a /8 of random traffic.
If there are ISP's willing to do that for free, I'd be very surprised.

There's no question that the shim system is
the more elegant and perhaps
more useful mechanism, but I'm very concerned about the cost issue,
as we have no budget to buy hardware. It'd have to be donated. People
typically don't have rackmount servers sitting around. Especially not
with a 10GbE interface, which might be necessary to connect to the telescope.
There are drawbacks to crowdfunding. Plus my
experience with
getting donations from hams has been poor. We are a cheap bunch.

10g interfaces?
What is the utilization of the interfaces? If it's a transiting an old
freeBSD box (still need details on this), surely we're unable to do 10g
Ethernet in something that old (5.3 was the time 10g was introduced for the
Intel driver), and since that's the choke point, a raspberry PI or
router-board would be able to handle 1g.
I have a quad xeon server I'd be willing to donate to it if need be. It's
even got an IPMI in it and 6 x1g copper interfaces, and I use it as my backup
virtual router lab.
How about a donation from the network telescope people, since they are using
44/8 for free?
If they are unable to provide even the smallest help, what benefit does it
give ham radio/ARDC for them to use the netblock?
