As pointed out on this list, multihoming with Sprint has two main
difficulties. The first issues is that Sprint's aggregation blocks
specifics from its CIDR block from going out untouched, even for BGP
customers, and the second is the fallback does not work properly since
Sprint does not listen to any announcements of our CIDR blocks from
peers. Both of these are being addressed and are nearing completion.
A more verbose description will be sent when we are actually done (and
get some sleep).
