Check it out here at the Net prelim comments. This is exactly the same warped logic being played out there.  "If you do not meet my! criterion you simply are not qualified" "oh and by the way only members of my club can meet my standards."

I and our members agree with you here Sascha. Where on earth Pekka
and others ever got the idea that small ISP's are "Toy ISP's" is simply being
anti competitive which is IMHO what the arbitrary restrictions for IP allocations

for minimum's or maximum's is borne from. I personally have yet to see
a definition that is valid, as to what constitutes a "Toy ISP". Though I have
seen such a derogatory term used some time ago by folks like Dave Crocker,
and Kent Crispin.

So I believe that at some point in time and possibly in the near future,
anti-trust law's will be applied to such ludicrous IP allocation practices
or policies any RIR or LIR would make or otherwise impose on ISP's
or even other network Providers. Joint class action law suites of
the Anti-trust become a very protracted affair as well as very expensive
to the looser... I hope RIR's and LIR's recognize this lest they wish to
suffer the consequences with such inane policies as so far seem to be
put into effect for both IPv4 and IPv6...
