And, because of the way you get CIDR allocations in Europe (and probably everywhere else now) Join RIPE Apply for space for your own network This gets allocated from the beginning of a new /19 CIDR block Build NOC and 1st POP Then start applying-for/allocating customer address space

I would imagine a very large proportion of "newer" ISPs have critical stuff in the 1st /24 of their 1st allocation ...

I know from the time that I worked at RIPE, that there were at least some 'weird' people that asked if we/they could start assigning from the top of the /19 ..., and we accepted that. May be they were right after all ;-), David K. ---
