Probably all those CATV operators should be LIRs in the first place anyway.
They could, indeed. But as they have no knowledge of IP whatsoever and do not operate any IP device, it was always easier for them that we take care of this. Some did, but they are far from a majority.
Running your own infra with a sub-allocation (or even worse, an assignment) from an LIR has it's risks, which you must take into account when planning your business.
