Wait... If you are issuing space to ISPs that are multihomed, they should be getting their own addresses. Even if they aren't multihomed, they should probably be getting their own addresses. Why would you be supplying them with address space if they are an ISP?
Because they are my customer. They don't know much about RIRs, paying membership fees, etc. They just know they want address space, and I provide that.
If they are ISPs and don't know much about RIRs, can you please name them and provide their ASNs ... oh, wait ... they won't have an ASN if they don't know about RIRs and fees and such.
Something isn't passing the smell test here.
This is actually not that uncommon. You see it a lot in the smaller level.
I had several such clients at my last job. They want to be multi-homed for redundancy, but either don't have enough space, or don't want to pay full time people, so they use a small to midsize ISP and their space and assistance to set up. -Blake
