I understand, it's just that when 'own' is used; it implies the same
bundle of rights that you'd have as a real or intellectual property
'owner.'

So, routing policy aside, Qwest can't 'own' in the same fee-simple
absolute way you 'own' your real property.

For example, there are severe limitations as to what Qwest can and cannot
do with regards to alienation of the 'address' property it purpotedly
'owns.'


 If anyone "owns" the addresses,
> it is the entity assigning them to facilitate
> routing in its domain.
