I don't remember the ARPAnet being one of their blacker networks. That
was what had 10/8 IP addresses. Now, 10/8 is open for nobody to claim
as their own public IP addresses.
As I understand it from previous responses, however, 7/8 is being used
as such (publicly advertised IP address space, just perhaps not at this
time all advertised to the public Internet).
