Lin,

I appreciate and agree with what you have said.

I would not go so far as to say a ham license gives any special rights to use of IP addresses on net 44.

Here is the ARIN Entry (BTW, some contact information needs updated)

http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-44-0-0-0-1/pft 

No where does it give any licensed based right.  That is under the purview of the "owning" body --  http://whois.arin.net/rest/org/ARDC.html

We have never suggested that the whole 44/8 go BGP in fact I have said many times that your project is great and have even offered to host the Atlanta LAN.  
Additionally we have offered to be an alternate path to the internet if that is possible.  This would remove the single point of failure issue.  

So just to be clear we are NOT suggesting that tunneling should go away!  We are even happy to support it as best we can.

No part of "44net is not just for tunneling" suggests we want to hijack your whole network.  
As licensed hams we have just as much of a right to use 44 addresses. No more no less.
