Gerd,

enterprise LIR would only cover the enterprises and banks, but not the small isp and cor-
porations which are multihomed.

enterpreise LIR is, AFAIK, also more expensive than small lir. Some providers are multihomed
but cannot cover the costs, even for a small lir.

This would dump the traffic to the owners of these blocks (e.g. AFAIK xlink and RIPE) and 
SHOULD NOT be the correct way.
