I think that it is appropriate for newcomer networks to ask what
the ettiquette is for dealing with routing policy problems here.
The eventual solution will obviously require direct contact with
alternet, but there are other issues, such as whether broadcasting
competing announcements is ok or not (probably best not to... wait
until it's all settled).

A lot of times it's very difficult to tell the management of a company who
has 'ownership' (meant loosely) of the official records of the
CIDR block that they can't use it immediately because someone else is
'borrowing' their address space.
And, I _do_ believe that problems such as this are related to the
Operation of North American Networks.
