You can only see how fast "large organization friendly" proposals go through and are accepted - this is just my personal view :) See the multiple /24 allocations for cTLDs that just got accepted. For multi-homing purposes and if your infrastructure allows it - you can easily get /24 ARIN ip space allocated from your US provider. However, to comply with Arin IP v4 rules you can only get one such block (/24 per company). We have worked with multiple clients (from Europe) and it works like a charm. We went this route because I don't think anything will change in the future (and thanks God we did it - it's been 2 years+ and nothing have changed). Greg http://www.linuxadmin.org/
