thanks for all the responses! it was very helpful, and I hope you guys will
keep me posted if anything drastic happens or to correct any inaccuracies.
I know that bgp feeds often take a lot of man-hours to deal with incompetent 
customers, but hope that more nsps might consider waiving the fee for those
who know what they are doing. ++cluefactor;

disclaimer: often charging for bgp feeds is handled on a case by case basis
and sometimes "no" only reflects an individual experience with the provider.
