Tore is absolutely right and sums up the issue for those who would like to
reclaim unused space. If you had spare, would you give it to another SP ?

That's the point of the last-/8 policy, give a start.
Starting a hosting company or ISP today, you have to take into account the
fact that IPv4 is not distributed evenly (just like money or food or anything
that is finite) and RIPE won't help you after the first /22. We (small
businesses and LIR from the last-/8) live in the IPv4 third world. Then you'd
better be rich or creative if you want to survive.
