[members-discuss] New Charging Scheme

regarding the ipv4 address space, we've actually tried to announce some 
e-class space over the past days, appearantly, most, if not all, routers 
filter it.

works fine within our network, so its probably bgp related
either a filter people -actually deliberately installed- or
hardcoded into the software.. not sure on that.

(240.0.0.0/4 - reserved future/experimental use)

furthermore, we've found a bunch of legacy ranges, which are not
announced at all, so if the DoD and IBM would be kind enough to hand
them over to ARIN/IANA, that would be appreciated

don't see why "the prudential insurance company of america" would need an 
/8, clearly they don't see the point of it themselves either, as they
don't announce a single ip out of it :P
