I’m talking about in an LIR application, not end user… Try again.

So how do LIRs work in the ARIN region under this circumstance?

How does Comcast have so much space if they don’t distribute a lot of it to 
their customers under ARIN policy?
Same question for AT&T, Verizon, AWS, Microsoft, XO Communications, Savvis, 
Century Link (or whatever they call themselves this week), etc.?

Nope… I’m fine with current policy, but I don’t think you’ve answered the 
actual question as it appears that you’ve applied end-user criteria to what I 
am terming as an LIR request.
