The RIPE NCC can not guarantee whether any particular route will be accepted by any network operator.
Which seems fairly reasonable to me.
Thats a problem. Question - if one of your customers discovers that an allocation does not route can they have it replaced with one that does.
Better fix the real problem than escape it? I'd guess main cause of problem being lack of understanding, so propagate know-how to concerned parties rather than provide quick fix.
I understand you don't guarantee any particular allocation will route. And in the old days when the charges were minimal for IP allocation - well one could reluctantly accept that. However - under the new policies you boys are charging these people hefty bucks and that means liability and I don't think it prudent to hide behind the routing claim. I have documented over 15 cases in which the 69.0.0.0/8 fiasco has cost these people clients and business that went elsewhere.
Hrm,... charging for what?? <snip /> mh
