I don't know that it's used much for that anymore. It might be time to return it to general assignment like any other regional subnet. In general, I feel its unwise to use addresses that appear to be world routable (eg, 44.anything) in the private netspace behind NATs and firewalls. The confusion that results when they inadvertently leak out just isn't worth it. There are designated private networks (RFC1918) that are a wiser choice for behind a NAT gateway. - Brian
