Hi Mel,
You'd have to ask ARIN to be sure, but I beleive they only accept
SWIPs for ISP registrants. Nothing stops the agency from
re-registering as an ISP (ARIN will accept you as an ISP if you want
to be) but it means new signing new documents (which may be a problem
with your legal dept) and possibly paying more money each year.
