There is no way a "new-LIR" can grow to, say, a /12 level that some of the big and old Telcos have - which is unfortunate, but we did not make IPv4 with these short addresses. To the contrary: *because* the policy is so restrictive, "new-LIR" can have a business at all - if we had no last-/8 restrictions, RIPE NCC would have run out of addresses over a year ago, so "nothing at all" for new-LIRs. Which is more fair? (And we have this restrictive policy because the *old* LIRs restricted themselves(!) from eating up all the space, leaving something for the new LIRs to come) Gert Doering -- APWG chair -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
