Why do you need to renumber out of previous space if MCI doesn't have to
when they get a bigger block handed to them?
Why should your *customers* bear the burden of this policy?
My point: you shouldn't, and your customer's shouldn't. You should, as a
multi-homed ISP, be able to get a /19 immediately and without obstruction -
period.
