This is only correct if the customer is using PI space. If the other 
provider has assigned PA space to the customer, then they will have to get 
a new set of addresses from you and renumber their network when they start 
a service with you.

If the customer does have PI space from the other provider then you have to 
consider the size of the address space the customer is bringing in and 
whether it is worth *your* effort to route that size of block (say if the 
customer has a /24) through your network and whether it would be beneficial 
to the customer.
