The ISPs who have been proactive in mitigating and redirecting have been/are doing this.  (global reach here)

The court ordered DNS servers have been up since Nov 9th and lots of outreach done....the intent was a
graceful ramp down.  Sadly, the state of folks helping with overall malware cleanup is still lots of finger pointing.

FUD with press and over sensationalism not helping.

Seems that would have been a more graceful ramp down.
