I wonder what AT&T and InterNap have to say about it as the upstreams
I can see of AS30060. While InterNap has a short but notable career
of letting their customers do whatever they want (such as completely
deaggregate all of their address space down to /24s), I'ld think
AT&T would be somewhat responsible.

I would hope Verisign would abandon their experiment if they received
no ill-gotten gains.
