Some folks phrase it the way you did. Others phrase it that Exodus
has stringent routing policies that prevent customers from doing
silly things with Exodus IP space rather than obtaining their own PI

backbone. Permitting such silly things would be nightmarish.

Once upon a time, AboveNet did not permit anyone to announce their IP 
space under any condition. I wonder if this is still the case.
