I'm sorry Michele, but can I ask you to please clarify what point it was
that you were making?

I understand... and I suspect that everyone else here does as well... that
if a European company (`C') supplying connectivity gets a Latin American client,
for example, then yes, that Latin American client may end up being issued
some IP space out of the allocations previously granted to `C'.  That makes
perfect sense.  But the organization with the 195.80.148.0/22 block that
I mentioned seems to have its own AS, and that AS appears to be independently
announcing a route for that IP block.  Furthermore, the IP block allocation
seems to have come directly from RIPE, and not from some European connectivity
provider which is simply making sub-allocations of its own previously-assigned
IP space.
