Highly anecdotal, but we’ve always refused to provide them, and they’ve always set it up without an LOA. YMMV since we negotiate larger contracts, but we’ve only ever been asked maybe twice? Both times they admitted they had no idea why they asked for it, so it just seems like some process they forgot to get rid of. -Dan

How can this be considered more trustworthy than RIR based IRR records? And I'm not even talking about old companies, I have a situation right now where a VPS provider I'm using will no longer use IRR and only accepts new paper LOAs. In the year 2024. I don't understand how anyone can go backwards like that. ~Seth
