Right.

(And as such, I follow this discussion with some mild amusement - very
engaged, and most of it totally missing the question asked).

For the record: the policy we have seems to work as it was designed, namely,
"new LIRs can still get IPv4 addresses".  Can they get as much as they want?  
No.  Would they get as much as they want if we loosen up the policy?  No(!).
Would that hurt later entrants into the market?  Yes.

Thus, I think the NCC should not permit single entities to open up multiple
LIRs to weasel around policy restrictions.
