Can a Customer take their IP's with them? (Court says yes!)

Tue Jun 29 16:27:43 UTC 2004

Why would the other side(new provider) violate ARIN policy and route the
space? The court order doesn't apply to ARIN, or the new 
provider. I'd say it would be a violation of the agreement, but
I'm not a lawyer. Just a thought.
