Actually my customer wants to try to anycast streaming audio media. It seems to work in the lab, We want to deploy in the wild now.
that still sounds like an experiment for a new protocol - then follow my suggestion - get them an experiemental assignment. If it works out, suggest a policy.
That only works if the experiment is for a non-commercial service: "Resources issued must not be used for commercial purposes during or following the conclusion of the experiment." If the service is commercial then it could not benefit from this kind of assignment. If the fees aren't a problem then the easiest way to get the address space might be to sign up as an LIR, get the minimum allocation and break it up. It's not the most elegant solution but it should work. That being said, it would be nice to have a policy that didn't encourage people to do that sort of thing.
