Just to clarify this issue from the RIPE NCC's point of view: In
general all end-user assignments need to be registered in the
database. In the specific case of dial-up users the concern was raised
that this could possibly disclose the entire customer list of an
ISP. Therefore the regional registries together with IANA developed an
alternative procedure for this specific case. This means the ISP/LIR
has the choice between either registering all indiviudal dial-up
assignments in the database or sending a regular update of the
utilisation of these addresses.
