Companies using public IP space owned by others for internal routing

Missent.

Welcome to IPv6, where you have technically-reserved-for-future-use 
space that should never actually need to be used. Quite likely, you can 
use something like 440::/16 as your private space, but please don't do 
that unless you've exhausted the true private space.

You're welcome.
