And, because of the way you get CIDR allocations in Europe (and probably
everywhere else now)
        Join RIPE
        Apply for space for your own network
        This gets allocated from the beginning of a new /19 CIDR block
        Build NOC and 1st POP
        Then start applying-for/allocating customer address space

I would imagine a very large proportion of "newer" ISPs have critical stuff
in the 1st /24 of their 1st allocation ...
