The statement Michael forgot was "using PI space" -
lots of "Bob's bait & tackle shop" types of operations
use BGP to announce a /24 to two providers.  I have
yet to find an organization which is concerned about
getting new PI space which would have a problem paying
that amount per year.  They may exist, but they're
certainly not the majority of the groups looking for
PI IP.
