It is absolutely a lapsed domain issue.  The authoritive (arpa) servers 
for the netblock in question (and several other bell blocks) are taz 
and pluto.bell-nexxia.net

I registered it last year (after getting sick of waiting for lookups to 
timeout on traceroutes), created the proper glue records to the 
original NS's and tried to give it back to bell via all available 
channels, nobody seemed to care, so I let it expire.
