You're asking for address space, sight unseen, in this case. That would be like someone going to a bank and asking for a loan, with no documentation, collateral, or anything else to give the bank confidence that they'll pay the loan back. That's why the slow-start model has been used, particularly for v4 space. If you started off by getting PA space from one or more of your upstreams, then there should be additional documentation to back up your request (SWIP entries, RWHOIS data, etc). When I still worked in the ISP world, the startup I worked for started off with PA space, and then grew into PI space, and handed the PA space back to their upstreams as it was vacated. I had no problems getting subsequent PI blocks because our documentation was in order.
Alright. This seems fair. Easy enough to get some big chunks of v6 space from up streams and then justify the PI space. I shall have to do that then. -- Charles N Wyble charles () knownelement com @charlesnw on twitter http://blog.knownelement.com Building alternative,global scale,secure, cost effective bit moving platform for tomorrows alternate default free zone.
