yes

yes, each operator uses this info in BGP decision as they wish

I'm doing both. Per AS is termed "topological aggregation", while per  
geography is "geographical aggregation" .From the 75% reduction, 40%  
are topological aggregates and the rest some form of geographical  
aggregation. Note that this aggregation preserves AS path diversity,  
therefore it's bellow the ratio #ASes/#prefixes.

Thanks,
