Just wondering... I notice they're still connected (recieved a nice
little spam from them yesterday).

Since gblx has their hands tied at the moment, what if other
major carriers (that peer with Global Crossing) were to drop the
prefix? Seems like that would be reasonable for them to do, since the
contact information for the block has already been marked as invalid
by ARIN, and the block is definitely hijacked and rogue - perhaps they
could treat it as a bogus route and discard it.

While I'm sure gblx can't publicly suggest anything like that, or
condone it, it would "fix" the problem.

Even if just a few major carriers / service providers did this, it would
still be a big improvement.
