Hi David, Either way the point remains: sub-registries in the other regions are not inherently expected to be the operators of the infrastructure services with which those IP addresses are used. ARIN has some gray area on the subject, but the rule to which exceptions apply is that your IP addresses are either coming from your network provider or directly from ARIN, not a different party altogether. ARIN is not a LIR and the "registry" terminology for your network provider is a poor fit. If anyone hates the "ISP" terminology, I respectfully ask them to suggest a better phrase, not a worse one.
