Big LIRs (mean with a lot of v4) provide to small ISPs internet+v4 ranges, now, how it is possible the new-LIR with only /22 do the same, i know - no way.
As there is no IPv4 available anymore for free, new-LIR can't become a big-LIR without big expenses (but with IPv6). That's a simple rule any new LIR can (and must) understand. If you read your LIR contract it is stated clearly you won't get more from RIPE.
In other way the small-ISP can become a LIR, this will continue exhaustion of the last /8 for sure.
If "small-ISP" really wants to play the serious game, it should become LIR anyway. Denis
