The RIPE hostmaster would only allocate us address space 7 days before the event started, needed longer than this to begin building out the network which span multiple data centres. Especially with time, access and change freeze constraints due to the Olympics this year. They didn't seem to want to budge on this, easier in my opinion to borrow some off a friendly organisation or ISP than jump hoops with RIPE.
I'm in the process of trying to get this changed. To be completely fair on the RIPE NCC, they don't have flexibility on this issue - the original policy was broken.
This is good news Nick :) I have spoken to others in the past few weeks who were hoping to raise it at the next RIPE meeting. I am happy to share our ticket details with you off list if it'll help. -- Nat http://natmorris.co.uk http://twitter.com/natmorris
