It has been announced by Verisign a few days ago (of course not by the
spineless IANA/ICANN).

No. It fails from many places. Nobody at ISI (home of B) seems to
really care and not our ISP either.

Here is a partial list of sites with problems:

1) At least a part of Renater (192.134.4.0/22, AS 2200). Other parts
of Renater are known as OK (Renater has many prefixes).

2) At least a part of Global Crossing (Layer, 146.82.136.0/21, AS
27354, connected by Global Crossing)

3) At least a part of Oleane (no IP address sorry, connected by
OpenTransit, AS 5511, like Renater)

4) Nerim (62.212.96.0/19, AS 13193)

5) At least a part of Level 3 (Brussels data center, no IP address,
sorry). Other parts of Level 3 are known as OK.

6) Mediaserv (connected by Cable&Wireless) (213.188.160.0/24, AS 3561)

7) You :-)
