That will be easy for me. I'm not interested in supporting Internet

44:0.0.0/9 and 44.128.0.0/10 would be blocked at my gateway. ip route
and iptables will do the trick. :)
Yes, that for sure is everyone's decision, motivated both by regulations and
policy.
In our network we have quite some Linux systems and we like to be able to update
them using standard distribution methods. That requires internet access.
Similar for other devices. And some amateur-radio oriented systems like Echolink
and D-Star use internet services. Too much work to get that all whitelisted.
But I can fully understand why not everyone would want to do that.
