In light of the recent hijackings, any customer coming in the door with a /16 or with purported IP space located in a /16 that has been recently updated, but not routed, should be given the full royal treatment of a background check: Pull over and show us your state incorporation certificate and your seal...and dare you if the corporation is listed as "inactive" with the state, or the incorporation date is past the date the space was registered, or you don't have the paperwork showing your legal successorship to such corporation.
Given that lots of companies reincorporate fairly often, typically to change where they're incorporated, what type of corporation, etc... I don't find this terribly compelling. It's just as easy to forge a bill of sale as it is these other forms of documentation. Same problem, different documents. --msa
