Who do you go to, when you've spent a year detailing everything ARIN wants when you ask for address space, then they decide to flush an installed and operating $2B business plan "just because".
It's not about your budget, or your plans. It's all about "What have you done, and how fast have you used the /19 your provider gave you."
This is one of the few places in the world where millionares and bag ladies get treated equally (poorly).
ARIN bases their policy upon input from their membership, or so I am led to believe by their staff. They didn't just arbitrarily pick /19 (/20 currently) as being cutoff. In addition, they have no say in what makes space routable. That is set semi-arbitrarily by your (or someone else's) NSP. As noted in an earlier post, there will be a public policy meeting for ARIN in October. If you don't like current policy come express your views. Austin
