 California already, it seems like that would be the way to go aside from
 directly advertising your own BGP CIDR block.

 I guess this would allow anyone with any decent router with VPN client

 struggling with dedicated computer and very specific installation to make
 it run.

 Yes, exactly and well said!  that's exactly the point I've been pushing 
for a long time.  the single dedicated IP is taken care of by the cloud
 based hub and a relitively simple setup on your client router at your
 network edge simply makes 44net show up on your lan. no dedicated machine,
 no dedicated or special software, no having to write custom config files,
 just easy and instantly deployable using standard protocols used everyday
 that real people use often and understand.

Hi Eric,

Are you doing the BGP announce or would the hosting provider you are
proposing we share doing the announce?

Are you familiar with what the HamWAN group is doing with their Open
Peering Policy (http://www.hamwan.org/t/Open+Peering+Policy)?
