Its my understanding that large company (or large university) can
become LIR too - they'd have to show that they have complex network
infrastructure with multiple semi-independent departments and/or
subsidiaries with main company's IT department serving as network
provider for those units.
However there is a difference between company becoming LIR and becoming
member of ARIN and paying annual membership fee (based on network size)
and company applying for single IPv6 assignment (as per 2005-1) and not
having to pay membership fee then (only one-time fee for assignment) and
not being able to participate at ARIN as a member.
