As an ISP, ARIN will not give you any space if you are new. You have to already have an equivalent amount of space from another provider. does arin *really* still have that amazing barrier to market entry? Yes. If you want PI space, you have to start off with PA space, utilize it, and then apply for PI space and an AS #, with contracts demonstrating your intention to multihome. Then, you have to *migrate* off the PA space and surrender it back to the 'owner'. You cannot get further PI allocations until you've done this. The ARIN community is easily it's own worst enemy.
the arin policy weenie industry is one of the internet's worst enemies

+1 I will echo my displeasure with the idea that you can only get a lot if you already have a lot. This mess is enough to make cgn look appealing... One more reason we can all do ourselves a favor by moving to ipv6, remove the number scarcity issue and associated baggage of begging for numbers Cb
