ARIN is cracking down on IP Space that is or has been issued (legally) and
have been found to have the contact records  "out of date" or the e-mail
addresses either don't work or their are mailboxes full and so on. You will
see more and more of these allocations being removed for failing to act on
network issue via their stated ARIN information.

A good example was that fellow trying contact RoadRunner's network center.
You should be able to do so from their ARIN information on record but...
nope they let the numbers changes, e-mails fade and people come and go.

More to come of this as Renewal Time is just around the corner.
