If they do, any Rogers customer who wants to talk to it is screwed.
Whether they have a 7 addy or not, Rogers' routers will not let the packet leave Rogers' borders.
That could depend on whether Rogers' border routers are adequately
configured
to block/filter the announcement, and whether whatever the DoD chose to announce was a longer prefix than what Rogers' equipment had routes/controls for. In theory; there exists a possibility that the DoD could announce a /24 of something Rogers' was internally routing as a /16, then if unfiltered the DoD announce could win, causing internal (self-inflicted) issues for Rogers. The DoD could also eventually use the 7 range for something, resulting in complaints to Rogers from users who seem unable to reach (some web site placed in 7/8). Unofficial use of other organization's IP address space is playing with
fire.
It may mark the symbolic start of a new IPv4, where eventually many /8s will have tons of unofficial claimaints, and whoever threatens more, pays the major providers more, or has more lawyers (take your pick), gets their announcement more widely propagated. Sometimes if enough players start playing with fire, a really bad, uncontrollable inferno eventually gets ignited.
Or, ipv6 gets deployed and supported since it will be the effective network of networks Cb
