A while. But the more likely case is that the guy before you asked for and got a /32, because that's the minimum (and already two steps up the fee scale, I might add)

You want ISPs to start with /20s? I'll support that over on PPML if you propose it. But I'll also ask for /20 to have a fee category of "small".
