Novartis and Qwest AS209

Wed Mar 5 19:02:41 UTC 2014

All, I haven¹t posted something to Nanog in probably 10 years so forgive my
ignorance on protocol.  I am sure this has been posted about but while I
figure out how to search the archivesŠ.

I see Ripe DB, Maxmind and many others have AS209 associated with the
company Novartis.  Did I miss something because ARIN whois shows it
different.  If this is wrong, it seems the source of the error is
db.ripe.net.
