Hi Gert,

Agencies are using prefixes from their existing allocations. Right now, that’s not problematic because their needs today are tiny. However, this builds momentum in a direction away from aggregation. As they hit address space constraints, they are then likely to resort to private IPv4 (RFC 1918) addressing. We can help them by giving them a clear path to a different alternative.
