Major providers such as Sprint and UUNet have had null route communities available for quite some time... Unless I am mistaken?

Which AT&T does *not* have, unless I cannot find the correct person to enlighten me. (NOC, sales team, implementation teams, customer care and lifecycle teams- all either scratch their head and say "what? why would someone want that?" or just say "no.") Someone, please prove me wrong. I would love to have this rather simple and quite common (these days) functionality in all of my upstreams. Yes, AT&T is the only one (out of 4 major providers we use) that cannot seem to implement this. Of course, I wonder if it will ever come now (assuming they will charge for their whiz-bang Arbor solution...) bill
