Totally worthless unless community participants voluntarily route traffic for those IPs to the assignee.Would de-peer with Microsoft (or turn down a transit contract from them) just because they wanted to announce some Nortel address space?Microsoft would likely be able to find someone who would not turn them down for transit.
Microsoft cannot stop other people from dropping such announcement elsewhere on the DFZ, beyond the transit provider they are paying money to. And that's exactly what the community response should be if ARIN finds that this transaction is bogus: treat it like unallocated space that's been announced. Rubens
