The worst one I've seen so far is Ticketmaster... last month. If you want to
sell tickets through them and connect via the network, they require you to
have a private, backend connection to them and then require you to route
29.2.0.0/15, 29.4.0.0/15, and 29.6.0.0/16 via that connection. I could be
wrong, but somehow, I don't think that they are also known as or have received
addresses from:

The argument of "what if one of the DoD research groups on campus is trying to
connect to this space for classified work?" didn't work... especially given
that the blocks aren't in our BGP tables. Alas, my protests failed against
the might of our self-funding sports program.
