Where do the startup ISPs whom didn't qualify for PI IPv4 in the past
fit into a post-run out world where they would qualify?
I am speaking in generics but also about a real ISP that is in this
situation today.
In my example This ISP could show need for a /22 but wasn't multihoming
at the time and likely will not until after run-out.
How does such an ISP begin to address their backbone and customers
facing interfaces without tying themselves to an ISP and their PA space?
I don't imagine they will be open to paying extortion prices for IPs
that other people never bothered to use.
