Hi I am a bit concerned about an email we recieved threatening the revokation of an assigned AS number if it did not appear to be used. It concerns me for a number of reasons. 1. Our customer has had problems with other providers and there own network, which has postponed the intended use of the AS for quite a few month, all due to things out of their and our control. 2. If you do revoke it then the customer may suddenly get things fixed and start using the AS as intended but in the meantime you assign it to another customer and the problems ensue. If you do not assign it why whould you ask for it back? 3. Just because an AS does not appear in the looking glass does not mean that its not being used in situation which does not mean it does not need to be announced at any looking glass. Please could you clarify this situation? Regards Stephen Burley UUNET EMEA Hostmaster SB855-RIPE
