It can drop amount of LIRs, while much cheaper to find PI - pay one time fee to owner and then return PA space and cancel contract as LIR. I understund difference PA & PI, but as I told - real customers often uses PI as PA.
This might work for IPv4 - you will violate policies if you still address end-users with these addresses and risk de-registration. But for IPv6 this is a different story. Getting IPv6 PI space in a block that is greater than /48 you need to provide documentation. And I doubt you can "fake" documentiation that will give you the resources you need. If all your competitors give customers a /48 you will want to do that as-well. Or even with /56, there are only 256 of those in a /48. So if you want to participate in the market you we'll need PA IPv6 and therefore need to be a LIR anyway. What is ~1300€ in your yearly budget compared to equipment, transit/backhaul and operating costs? I would not think it is significant... g Andre
