'sell you ASSIGNED PA' or 'Assign to you as a customer ASSIGNED PA' ?
(cause 'selling ip space' is still officially verboten, eh?)

agreed, it's at least a management headache, and aside from very
obvious large multi-nationals (joel's examples) every time I've seen
it done it was by 'bad actors'... In fact I think I had a conversation
with an install engineer that went something like:
"You really thought ip space assigned to a ukranian company in the
ukraine was 'ok' for you to route to a customer in tampa, fla??"
