The Swedish University Network (SUNET, AS 1653) agreed (with Brian's permission) to provide Internet transit for the entire network, which is initially announced out of a research network at KTH (AS8973), one of the universities connected to SUNET. We are slowly but surely distributing gateways to the 256 /24-networks over the country, located at an institution connected to SUNET and maintained by a licensed radio amateur associated with a local club, so that as many radio amateurs as possible can reach at least one of them via radio without tunneling. The basic agreements were arranged a few months ago. Things take time and we so far have only obe gateway up and running, at KTH in Stockholm (SK0WE). Another one (44.140.47.0/24) is coming up in August at the Technical Museum of Stockholm (SK0TM) and we have preparations in progress in almost all of the eight radio amateur districts of Sweden. If an opportunity opens to have an intradomain link to another AMPR subnet, we will take it, but all addresses in use can be reached via Internet transit. At an earlier stage of the restart of AMPRnet, I advocated going for an own AS number for AMPRnet, but I guess the way things have worked out for us is perfectly OK. I am working with a few amatuer colleagues and academic institutions in some African countries to replicate this model to be used for specific applications. One of them is to make environment data publicly available on the web.
