Expensive IRR? ALTDB is free?
I don't know anything about ALTDB. RADB is pricey.
RADB is one of MANY alternatives. ALTDB has been pretty reliable and useful to me and costs $0. YMMV.

Apparently, Tata is rejecting routes that have neither RPKI nor an RIR-based IRR record created after 1993.
Are you sure? The way I read it, that policy applies to -customer- announced routes, not broad Internet routes received from peers and transit.
It’s not entirely clear what Tata’s policy on peer-received routes is, but it’s not at all unlikely that the vast majority of systems are reaching Tata via indirect transit.
It still seems unwise, but not entirely insane.
My word was obnoxious, but yeah. Owen
