Urp... Announcement of 208.x.x.x
I just noticed that AS 3847 was announcing
208.0.1.0/24, 208.0.4.0/24, 208.0.5.0/24, and 208.0.9.0/24.

Now, besides the fact that they could announce 208.0.4.0/23 ( :) ),
those addresses aren't quite kosher-ly allocated, are they?

Is there a spot where the Internic communicates what address space
has been allocated? ("We are now allocating out of 207.x.x.x")

No, the 208/8 block is not open for allocations. The InterNIC is
currently allocating from 206/8 and will begin 207/8 in the near
future.

We do not currently list this information anywhere in particular other
than the networks.txt file that lists each network assigned. If you
have any other suggestions on where else you'd like to see it please
let me know.

Thanks,
Kim

I have no great and wonderful ideas...

Perhaps a web page or mailing to nanog or other lists when a 207/8 etc...
is opened up for allocations?
