And, because of the way you get CIDR allocations in Europe (and probably
everywhere else now)
	Join RIPE
	Apply for space for your own network
	This gets allocated from the beginning of a new /19 CIDR block
	Build NOC and 1st POP
	Then start applying-for/allocating customer address space

I would imagine a very large proportion of "newer" ISPs have critical stuff
in the 1st /24 of their 1st allocation ...
