I guess this legacy IP space, which is probably visible in ARIN's whois 
DB, but for which they provide no additional services unless you sign a 
LRSA and are then on the hook for annual membership fees?

I don't have any of that space (I do "have" a pre-ARIN ASN which I'm 
unsure what I can do with :) so I don't have firsthand knowledge of the 
issues.

I wonder how Tata deals with that...or how they will after August 2023?
