Just setup shop in Japan and experience it yourself ;)

Oeh neat, as long as you attach them to a strong enough wire and don't
let them drop their droplets in my backyard ;)

Let me see, in the current RIPE allocation list*, there is a school
at 2001:4b20::/32 consisting of basically two buildings, there is a registrar
at 2001:4b98::/32, who do not do hosting I guess. And there are a really large
number of "ISP's" who really do not have more than 2 19" racks worth of equipment.

I really wonder why people are complaining that they can't get a prefix.
Really, if you are not able to become LIR, and get a prefix, while they quite
apparently can, then you should simply quit change your job IMHO.

Greets,
 Jeroen
