  I think big companies can approve via RIPE any transfers while they have 
  thousands work places, servers, and etc. If we discuss sub-allocations -
then 
  allocated PA block won't changed. And they can't sell too high.

  Newcomers can get 1024 IPv4 as new LIR. I think any restrictions only
increase 
  prices. All people usually busy (who not busy here?). If someone has IP and
can 
  very simple give it to someone - then more IPs will be available and prices
for 
  IP will be lower.
   
  I had this situation - in one company told me that they can sub-allocate IP,

  but don't have any time for bureaucracy.

  Aha.. Just check big blocks (100k IPs and more) which were allocated before 
  IPv4 were finished in RIPE. Of course I think all was made as it was written
in 
  policy. It is just a black hole in policy. 
   
  Conclusion: let’s make simple regulation. Less paperwork, more freedom.
