I would put it even more stongly. RIPE is there to do a jobs, which is
being a registry. Please will a RIPE rep. show me where it says that
they have legal and/or moral responsibility to dictate how a company
does business ?

These virtual web sites are one IP address per company. Should we be
asking the RIPE to give a class C to each of these comanies and then
use one for the WWW server ?

This is as an alternative to allowing companies that sell the virtual
space to using their address space much more efficiently.
