Perhaps you learned the term "advertisement" instead of announce, I think they are synonymous: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/case/studies/icsbgp4.html#wp2818 Perhaps I am being thick, and by "scope", you mean "does one have to use BGP?" when you announce your IP block. In that case, I think the answer is no. RIRs don't generally tell you that you must announce your address space in a specific way. That's for an LIR to decide IMO. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there."
