Heh... /22 PI is scored like 4 (FOUR) PA /20 block usually got by LIR at the 
beginning (but, of course, once). So I don't think it is "close to NIL".
Often it is too expensive, especially in eastern Europe, especially to 
non-profit organization. So it is good to split payment for a chunks, not 
bill them once.

Anyway, is there the deny to bill PI/AS on regular basis (not once)? Where?

If I am their service provider (btw, then they got PA) - I can cut their 
service. And if not?

So RIPE gives me a policy how to deal with my clients? ;)
If yes, please show me the documents. If not - let me do that, and be 
LIR-friendly ;)

Yes. But, unfortunally, contracts sometimes violates, so I ask about technical 
resources to have users to be correct.
