Be specific, is it for having more address for the end-users? Datacenter?
Services? Infrastructure? IPv6-to-IPv4 services? CGN? Proxyes?

It's happening: end customers of new operators (read as new LIRs) are requesting new services such as datacenters or multihoming and IPv6 deployment in the meanwhile.
Those are the tipical request that I reiceve. For example to multihome and bgp a customer I need a /24
What if I have no address space to provide?  I can ask my customer to sign up and he will get a /22 automatically wasting a 3 x /24
I think in many cases this is why we are registering such new sign up growth trends.
I already said in past emails that when I started our business of fiber optic provider the carrier said to us "ask us for transport and access but not for addresses. sign up and get yours"
This is reflecting in all the chain from top to bottom. This could be a point where to act. If we turn the request re-introducing justification and we turn minimum request to a /24
we can address this kind of problem while slowing down LIRs sign up rate to obtain a /23 or /24 to address this kind of requests

hope this help in understand small player needings
