This is something that could possibly be managed depending on how you setup
the fees for ULA-central, but there may be other ways also. I think RIRs
staff will make sure that one is not used instead of the other.

Fraud (telling you need ULA-central and using as PI) is always a possibility
with any policy, and there are means to verify it.

I also believe that if transit providers understand the difference, they
will not allow using ULA-central as PI, moreover, you will always have the
risk of trying so and being filtered in part of the Internet. A PI requester
will not risk (unless there is no PI, but now is available already in 3
regions, and I expect that will be in all before ULA-central is adopted in
any).

Jordi
