they don't route.  problem is related to legacy equipment/bogon lists
which have not been updated - in most cases corporations setup their
router years ago and no one knows how to update them.

this is also a major problem.  If you goto nanog and search the archives
for 69.0.0.0 you'll get more info there.  And so far based on my research
every operator of an allocation from a 69/8 who has tried to use it has
experienced routing problems.  I expect the same will apply to any 82/8
allocations.
