Wait... If you are issuing space to ISPs that are multihomed, they should be getting their own addresses. Even if they aren't multihomed, they should probably be getting their own addresses. Why would you be supplying them with address space if they are an ISP?
Because they are my customer. They don't know much about RIRs, paying membership fees, etc. They just know they want address space, and I provide that.
1) Policy doesn't state that only a RIR can hand address space to an ISP2) You don't have to be multihomed to be considered an ISP or qualify for space from RIR (you just have to be larger if you aren't multihomed)
3) It has been this way for many years in IPv4, with all of my customers being ISPs from small to medium size and several of them even having their own subtending ISPs (some of which are even larger than my customer ISP in consumer customer counts).
