This actually shows pretty good coverage for this feature, it seems to me. The big American isps do it, the mobile ones do too...

How many major isps would we want to implement it to be "safe" and what would that look like? Is this a regional thing? They've only listed 4 unsafe ones on the site and that doesn't seem like a major issue, but maybe they're very large somewhere.

It would be "enough" if all the major transit ISPs did it and it would be helpful if all the major residential ISPs did it. If non-RPKI routes can't propagate through transit ISPs, that makes it a much less useful thing to do.

We want more than just major isps.

They've listed way more than 4 (and those 4 are also massive), click "Show all".

There's 254 operators marked as unsafe.

I'm on sky in the UK which is marked as not safe due to no RPKI.

It's not on the list so imagine there is a fair few missing, would be neat to have a table you could filter by country, provider type (cloud/isp etc) based on real results from users.

edit: there's a show all button to expand the table

I got a fail on T-Mobile USA. It seems in the full list that T-Mobile is listed as both passing and failing.

Click show all.

Major ISPs like British Telecom (core UK telephony), NTT Docomo (Japan), Vodafone Espana (showing that Vodafone isn't doing it globally), Starlink (showing it's not a old tech problem), Rogers (US ISP) are listed unsafe.

I think the 31 is a misleadingly positive picture.
