Of course, if you do that you end up with a single .../isp/ directory
with as many entries as there are ISPs in the world :)

From a user's point of view, I think COUNTRY/REGION/ISP makes more sense.
I can go quickly and easily to nz/Auckland and look at what ISP configs
are available. In your example, I potentially have to look through
fifty thousand ISPs to find out which have a POP in Auckland :)
