Michael, I guess I missed this when it was originally posted, but if you could put some attribution around it, it would be more helpful.
Sorry, I should have clarified. It's something I haulled off of an ISP discussion list and it appears that some of RIPE's activities may be butting heads with Sprint's route filtering policies. Specifically, RIPE is charging a fee to ISP's to get large blocks of IP addresses to allocate to their customers and yet these blocks are smaller than what Sprint will route. I intentionally left out the attribution in case the individual concerned was simply wrong due to not having done enough research. I was kind of hoping that someone would pipe up and say that the operations folks and the IP registres are now working closer and coordinating their activities. Am I dreaming?....
