Did you just say 69/8 ? :)

If an ISP chooses not to make a specific prefix reachable
it is there 'problem'/policy, not much to do about it.

Also anybody could just start up a Registry where one can
register IP addresses for their "Cybernet" or whatever
they call it. No need to go to the RIR's. The addresses
won't be accepted by the Internet community though ;)

Greets,
