It's been announced by UCSD as a /8, consistently available, with tunnel services and rDNS available on a consistent basis, for a long time. The folks involved are not hard to find and never have been. Amusingly, they still seem to be advertising the covering aggregate, so I guess the Cal system is going to provide transit to Amazon? Do the Regents know about this arrangement?
the ARIN folk could have said: "Well.... sure! if the current folk who control access can positively show they do AND they don't mind parting with a /10... ok?"
... I'm not sure this would make the 44/8 allocation anything but a bogon, or ARIN WHOIS & RPKI a reliable resource for the community. Potentially quite the contrary. If I start advertising space, and can show I thusly "control" it, can I monetize it, too? I could use "some millions." --msa
