presumably 44/8 is shorter than the prefix AMZN is going to announce,
right? (the /10) so... either UC wll eat backscatter when/if AMZN
dorks u ptheir announcement/routing-config OR this isn't an issue.

Right?

Also, who's this 'we'.. I don't live in california... I presume UC is
getting funding from california, not virginia. (mostly)
It seems though that 44/8 was being used in some research project at
UC so... maybe this is just that still at play.
less nefarious and more 'meh, why change if we don't have to?'

didn't the ardc thing come into existence ~10 yrs back? though what
looks like legit paths...

it sounded like there were discussions though (based on what  Mr
Fields said earlier
Perhaps those weren't as upfront as some folk want? or perhaps they
were constrained by the legal process surrounding the sale event (and
negotiations leading up to that)

sure.
