I am not sure about USA, but it's usial practic here in Russia - we ask e-mail permission from the network owner, and hardly recommend to change address (and warn about _we are doing it at your own risk). The problems are boths political and technical - Internet is not build todays for such _by-specific_ customers and often, if we anounce the specific of the other provider XX, we use partically the bandwidth of XX (esp. if we have peering aggreement with XX).
