A customer of mine owns a cidr block they haven't been using.
They've asked me to advertise it. I note that this block is
being advertised by an ALTERNET customer.
The nic / radb agree with my customer:
HEARTS:[GAVRON.INTERNET]_whois 204.193.128.0
B3 Corporation (NETBLK-B3NET-EC)
2521 W. Arnold St.
Marshfield, WI 54449
Netname: B3NET-EC
Netblock: 204.193.128.0 - 204.193.159.0
Note that the ``unscrupulous other isp'' has gotten inverse:

But the route is being annouced by ``cyberconnection'' out of AS701.
Ideas? Should I just advertise this and to hell with the backbones?
Alternet?
