(...) Hi, I just want to second that... relatively small organizations got some big blocks (i.e. class B) in the pre-RIR age, and thus they never felt any need to later become a LIR, or even to get some space through a LIR in the following years. These organizations can be labeled as "outside of the RIR system", and as far as i understood they really like it that way (no RIR fees, ...). As someone already told me, they had a bet on the right horse some years ago. IMHO, this proves early-adopters sometimes really get some advantage! Best Regards, Carlos Friaças
