"This network" could easily have a route object indicating that it will 
originate from "his" ASN.  I've had zero problems with this through 
Verio (who builds their filters by route-objects).

FWIW, a customer of mine had several /24s out of C&W's space.  I told 
him he'd have 90 days to keep using it after he left C&W.  I started 
checking on him at the 90 day mark, and just pulled the plug at the 180 
day mark (he stopped replying to my emails; leave me in the dark, and 
I...).  He said he had reachability problems from that point forward 
through his other connection to Level3.
