And I prefer Netcom to you via default BGP

maybe someone should get on the horn to netcom to announce your AS, and I
don't even see a Sprint AS in there at all. I would think UUnet would
prefer Sprint over AboveNet/Priori. The way Netcom is not announcing your
AS is screwing everything up for LE, making it a shorter BGP hop count.
And another thing, why on earth does Livingston need a /16 ? Is there an
IP for each and every lightbulb in the building?
