this is not true - ARIN has not, nor will it, ask an ISP to add or delete
any filters - dealing with filters is far outside of ARIN's mission
ARIN has discussed changing alocation policies but this did
not include asking Sprint or anyone to change their policies
before I get asked- changes to ARIN policies are posted on the ARIN web site
