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. -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?
