It is not only about regulatory ID requirements but also about identifying who is behind
some traffic. Many places have "relaxed firewall rules" for traffic

within AMPRnet. This already requires revision due to the sale of the upper block
(I think that lots of firewall rules still mention 44.0.0.0/8) but also with more and
more blocks being routed directly and having no transparency about the actual use of
that space, I would like to know if some address is really an amateur or if someone
has lend it out to shodan.io or stretchoid.com. And if so, at least know who is
responsible for that.
All allocations, whether BGP announced or not, are to licensed radio amateurs and our
terms state very clearly that they are to be used "exclusively for the purpose of
Amateur Radio communications and experimentation, or other special uses as may be agreed
to by ARDC.”
So if anyone finds, or suspects that any allocation is being used for any other purpose
please report it to me for investigation. We also have abuse(a)ampr.org
<mailto:abuse@ampr.org> for this purpose.
