I'm curious to know what benefit such customers perceive from being LIRs (rather than just taking IP address space from you).
Hi, They have "their own" space, one /22 for them alone. Not sure this is something easy (even less cost-effective) enough to obtain these days.
From what you say they don't run their own networks - do they assign resources to their downstream customers?
Don't know about Dominik's customers, but some of them do. You can find several kinds of network-less service providers out there in the wild. Then there's the issue of things done "inside out" : ISPs running on ASSIGNED PI (not very willing to deal with RIPE / RIPE NCC) and end-users on ALLOCATED PA (willing to do so).
