Wikimedia is a pretty big player. Has anyone from the foundation with some sort of fancy sounding title called up the ISP in question and asked "wtf?". The original email on wikimedia-l made it sound like the issue is unintentional.

Dear Bawolff,

as far as I know no one from the WMF has called up the ISPs. Some local Wikipedians have, but have received no answer.

Just to add: the issue discussed happens with all the ISPs in the country, not just a single one.

For some background information please take a look at these short sections:

With all best wishes.
