That's true.  It didn't take much effort, and 'only' maybe 1,500 Euros p.a.
for our site to in effect become an LIR.   I guess for some people the
fee is an issue, but the old argument is if PI is that important to you
as a corporate organisation, that money is small change.

So who exactly are these people calling for their IPv4 equivalent PI space?

Are they all corporate enterprise networks?  If not, who represents the
other major consumers?

And how many PI prefixes are in use today for IPv4?  10,000?  30,000?  More?
