Except that you are *wrong*. You'd have to register with the RADB (which your upstream should have done for you if you got address space from them). If you have your own CIDR block, then you should register with the RADB. Then make an AS-MACRO for yourself. Then tell yout transiter to include your AS-Macro in theirs; you're done. -- This is not a endorsement of the RADB or the RA's; moreover, it's just so you realize what is happening.

Is it unreasonable of me to think it's awfully backwards of ANS.NET to require anyone getting a new CIDR block to physically call ANS's NOC and say "please listen to routes for this block from this AS"?
They obviously care even less about their network than we were previously led to belive.
