Can anyone from Level3 say how this will impact customer BGP filters. Will L3 keep working with the last data sync they got from altdb?
Yes, Level 3 will continue to use the last data mirrored and archived. New filters are not pushed daily, they are only pushed when things change.
Archives are here in case people want to know what the latest was: <ftp://rr.level3.net/pub/rr/archive.mirror-data/>

So has anyone had any contact from ALTDB as to what's going on?
I don't know, but I'd like to make a suggestion that most people will just reject, .. but ... 1) If ARIN doesn't provide the level of authentication you desire, as an ARIN member you should send a note to ppml each day until it's available, or make a proposal to improve it. Last time around, it wasn't very exciting for many people. 2) If you DEPEND on something for your business, it may just be "worth it" to: a) pay RADB who operates professionally b) use your ISP provided IRR (eg: NTT, level3, savvis, etc) You are less likely to encounter business issues due to the mirroring/latency etc of RADB -> YourISP or ALTDB -> YourISP if you use them as you have a direct business relationship. They may even prefer their objects over the RADB seen ones. - Jared
