I am sure that your interpretation was the original intent of the policy text. However, the wording could also be read in a way that allows an LIR to just provide registry services, without providing any connectivity services.
That's one hell of a stretch. Registry services aren't needed if they don't have the IP space, so saying that the service the end user is buying that justifies the IP assignment is 'registration services' is a circular argument.
Of course - but if you wanted to provide services to spammers and their friends it's the sort of stretch you'd find yourself making. Regards, Leo
