i am very interested in this also.
if you want to see how other isps handle that route you can go to
http://www.boardwatch.com/isp/trace.htm and run tracerts from servers on
different isps.

For the first time we have had to deal with Sprint's routing policy as
defined by http://www.sprint.net/filter.htm. Here is the situation.
One of our dialup customers wants to access his website in the
206.116.31.0/24 network at another provider. PSI is advertising it as a
/24. According to Sprint's routing policy, they do not honour anything
longer than a /19 in 206.0.0.0/8 .
I am now in the position trying to explain to the very non-technical
customer, why he cant reach that site, which from his point of view just
seems like I am passing the buck...
Anyways, my question is, are their any other ISPs/NSPs that follow the
same
guidelines. UUNet seems to honor it just fine, as does MCI. Is Sprint
more hardnosed than most ?
