I think with our climate we should not impose undue restrictions on 
who can and can't have PI. We are after all trying to promote internet 
penetration and IPv6 uptake. If anyone can justify through the scope 
of their infrastructure, that they require PI and can pay for it as 
well as announce it - more power to them I say. Of course, routing 
table size is of concern.

That said, the equivalent policies of abroad are far more scary. Some 
of which dictate the allocation (and proof thereof) of at least 
100,000 endpoints.
