this is not true - ARIN has not, nor will it, ask an ISP to add or delete
any filters - dealing with filters is far outside of ARIN's mission

ARIN has discussed changing alocation policies but this did
not include asking Sprint or anyone to change their policies

before I get asked-  changes to ARIN policies are posted on the ARIN web site
