	What I understand is that he is clamming that the registration of this prefix was hijacked from him.

	But honestly I do not what the problem is. Any how, it won't be solved here.

Their response was "We have a contract with the customer for connectivity.  We do not have a contract with you." and I was encouraged to get the customer to voluntarily withdraw the prefix.

However, this has its own implications regarding centralized control of the routing system (as discussed, ironically enough, in the RIPE region).  And this is going to get much more 'interesting' as the IPv4 free pool exhausts and the market moves from black to grey or white.  Fun times ahead.
