We recently received a /23 block from ARIN by sitting on the waiting list for about 2 months. If you're not in a hurry and you're not looking for a large block of IPv4, wait. Small companies still have a chance at IPv4 without paying a fortune.

Oh, this is very cool. What is your company doing with the addresses? I wonder if there are applications where it's easier to get addresses than others.

"Justification" at the RIRs is a little subjective, but it is supposed to be based entirely on technical need not use case.

If you want to talk more about getting additional IPs, Mark at your provider is a super smart dude, or you can ping me offline.

RIPE was handing out /20s to new members about 2 years ago, as well. I'm a fan, it would be nice for more people to have smaller blocks.

They were /22 I believe. You can still get a single /24 as a new RIPE member, and no waiting at the moment as their IPv4 waiting list is empty.
