Calling it a tendency is probably a stretch. They only bowed to RIR
policy once in recent memory, when ARIN began allocating /20 PI
blocks. Prior to that, they nearly got their logo placed in Webster's
dictionaries under "anal".
That said, their current policy of refusing to accept de-aggregated
prefixes from peers (while accepting such from paying customers) makes
perfect sense, IMHO. Not arrogant, just a smart & reasonable business
decision.
