Well, there's the question -- I have no idea who owns it. Look it up in
ARIN, it says it's mine, but with contact info from epix, the old upstream.
Again, though, even if I own it, if the announcements don't make it into the
backbone it's not very useful, and I gather that some backbones now filter at
/19 except for the swamp.

My ISP (the local independent telco who is quite sharp) is doing what
they can but epix is less than helpful.
