"The default free zone is made up of Internet routers which have explicit
routing information about the rest of the Internet, and therefore do not
need to use a default route."

So my understanding of 4.2.2(a) is that the requesting organisation would
be one which is receiving the full Internet routing table separately from 3
neighbouring ASes, and is therefore able to use that routing table to make
intelligent decisions about where to send IP packets.
