I can't say they are very easy to work with.  Currently we have well over
a /19 swiped to us from transit providers (uunet, sprint, global crossing,
qwest, cw, etc).........so I submit all my paperwork......nice,
neat.......fully documented, all my ducks in a row, every block reserved
documented, every block assigned swiped......and VERY LITTLE free space.

They come back with a /19 allocation to me...........hmm, allocate me LESS
than what I currently have.........that makes alot of sense.

But what do you do? You take it.......then resubmit at later
time............

I have this feeling, and its just a feeling, I don't know for sure that
the earthlinks, bellsouths, mindsprings, etc all have a much easier time
in getting space, and probably waste alot of it too.  while isp's like us,
waste very little, but have the hardest time getting space.

Does ARIN ask UUnet for network topologies for all its /26 and larger
allocations?  doubt it
