Does this achieve anything that signed announcements wouldn't?

  The announcements have to live somewhere and the idea is to use a shared ledger ie a blockchain.

    The announcements are already peer to peer in BGP. Again, what does block chain add that eg, BGPsec (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7353.txt https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7353.txt) does not?

      Unless I missed it in that RFC document blockchain adds a shared ledger, as thebeastie mentioned. Aka an unalterable shared record of what changed, when, and by whom.
