Very wise words.

You can only see how fast "large organization 
friendly" proposals go through and are accepted - 
this is just my personal view :) See the multiple 
/24 allocations for cTLDs that just got accepted.

For multi-homing purposes and if your 
infrastructure allows it -  you can easily get 
/24 ARIN ip space allocated from your US 
provider. However, to comply with Arin IP v4 
rules you can only get one such block (/24 per 
company).  We have worked with multiple clients 
(from Europe) and it works like a charm. We went 
this route because I don't think anything will 
change in the future (and thanks God we did it - 
it's been 2 years+ and nothing have changed).
