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 originating from 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@ampr.org mailto:abuse@ampr.org for this purpose.
