are we? we see folk using dsl at t1 rates to replace p2p t1 lines because it's a very different cost for the circuit. (here, t1 is expensive and dsl is based on old alarm circuit tarrifs) [Bjarne Carlsen] OK - in other words, you don't even see the small difference, that I see on this side of the pond..
just to push this to the limit. in the states, we usually have free local dialup. so we have analog "nail up" customers, i.e. they stay dialed up 7x24. it's just another form of p2p dedicated circuit. and, as far as address allocation policy goes, treat them the same as an OC12 customer, they justify what address space they need. [Bjarne Carlsen] Yes, but make it somehow easier for them, since there is one significant difference between private an corporate customers, (at least as seen from this little backwater), namely that the corporate customer usually understands the technical jargon used in documents like RIPE-141 and the private customer invariably says "Huh, er... what is an IP-address??"
