A big company can own dozens of other small companies and get a /22 from each of them -- but it shouldn't. In the case it wants to merge, it should return all the /22s to the NCC pool except one.
1) Again, this can be a perfectly legitimate business case. 2) A holding company can own many subsidiaries and there is no (and neither should there be a) requirement to even inform the NCC of this fact as long as no merging of LIRs is required. 3) a requirement to return all but one /22 in case of a merger is unrealistic and would mean an infringement on, again perfectly legitimate, business transactions between LIRs. 4) Since the M&A procedure is not a matter of address policy, this is the wrong place to debate it anyway. rgds, Sascha Luck
