Why then you should apply for PI? In case of problems RIPE (for example) would speak with a single LIR, not with thousands of widespread customers. RIPE is always speaking with the LIR, in accordance to 2007-01 policy. All new PI users are always connected with some LIR. If you want obtain PI directly from RIPE, you'll pay additional money for the contract with RIPE, it's documented on the website.

Yes, but it means that RIPE is not always "speak" exclusively with LIRs. More than that, the "customer" has rights to change the hosting LIR in every moment. It further complicates things. //////////// And generally, I don't prefer crapping PA space with such deaggregation caused just by the PI-blocking policy. ----------------- It was my idea behind the lines.
