We got our address space under the old rules.
Ah, I didn't notice this.
Despite this, it really shouldn't be too hard for any large multinational company to show plans for assigning address space to 200 other organizations. No need to color the truth at all.
You must be using some other definition of other organizations than I do. Further, I don't believe there are even 200 countries out there. :-) Let's see. Extending your interpretation any company with 200 employees could be entitled to a block: they _do_ want to provide xDSL service and proper addresses to their employees (who are private users) using the recommended /48 assignment!

I always understood it to be "a different legal entity". Using 200 employees for that sounds a bit borderline to me, though.

Right.. Employees, as any other people, different legal entities, though... -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security. -- Robert Jordan: A Crown of Swords

Ask the RIPE NCC, fill in an application yourself, ask other people how they qualified (that's why some smart people hire a consult with experience with this kind applications to help them out).

so don't spread rumors about us coloring the truth while you have no proof of any wrongdoing.

again, please check the facts before you send a mail.

No. No. No! I didn't say that 'other organizations' are equal to one employee. You are making that up in your own fantasy world. You seem to be living in a very simple world. Do you have any idea how multi-national organizations work ?!? They have partnerships, joint ventures, cooperations with other organizations, are member of associations, support non-profit organizations, are part of standards bodies etc.. Many of these organizations are not owned or operated in any kind of way by the multi-national organization and still the multi-national organization can provide ip addresses and connectivity to such 'other organizations'. David K. PS also, instead of suggesting there might not be 200 countries, you could have done some more research: the UN has 191 memberstates. the number of countries in the world is close to this number, depending on your definition of what constitutes a country. So you are correct that there are less than 200 countries, but it is close enough to 200 that it really doesn't help you. ---

I don't think RIPE NCC would respond to queries like that with useful answers, or people would tell exactly how they qualified (or often colored the truth). In any case, we already have sTLA so there is no need to fill anything.

Depending on the interpretation of "other organizations", the behaviour is self-evidently "questionable" or self-evidently "okay".
Despite this, it really shouldn't be too hard for any large multinational company to show plans for assigning address space to 200 other organizations. No need to color the truth at all.

No. No. No!
I didn't say that 'other organizations' are equal to one employee. You are making that up in your own fantasy world.
I didn't say you said so: read again. I said that is relatively logical extension of the arguments you said. "employees" are private persons, different legal entities.
You seem to be living in a very simple world. Do you have any idea how multi-national organizations work ?!? They have partnerships, joint ventures, cooperations with other organizations, are member of associations, support non-profit organizations, are part of standards bodies etc..

No, I really don't have that much idea. I'm not saying that using multiple /48 for big multinational organizations is easy. Far from it. It must be more difficult than some small ISP's getting sTLA. But that's how the current rules are.
PS also, instead of suggesting there might not be 200 countries, you could have done some more research: the UN has 191 memberstates. the number of countries in the world is close to this number, depending on your definition of what constitutes a country.

I don't waste my time on irrelevant research, which is why I used 'might not be'. Whether there is 190 or 210 doesn't really matter. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks. Security. -- Robert Jordan: A Crown of Swords
