 I was about to reply pointing that out.  FWIW, they're not announcing 
that space, so I definitely agree with the poorly-thought-out private 
infrastructure theory.  http://bgp.he.net/AS36149#_prefixes FWIW.

 Really, I'd have hoped they'd use their two-year-old 2607:f9a0::/32 
for anything that ambitious...but I might be wishing for too much. 
(Also, that 123 block seems to have been allocated in 2006, so it'd be 
even more unprofessional to start projects with that space since then.)
