Yes you can't get IP space from ARIN anymore, we have plenty of IP's
though, we picked up an extra block right before we ran out, and people
are auctioning old IP space anyway.
Quite a few of us WISPS are hams, more often then not, and I wouldn't
blame the coordinator for being wary. Just need to be upfront and
honest. I can't say I'm surprised to hear people are trying to take
advantage of it.

What's the timeframe to get a block of
IP's, I'd like to start testing
and messing around with AMPRnet. I've got BGP routing available, and I
can't wait to get connected.
I am my Wireless ISP, so that won't be an
issue. I have a few different
routes, so I'm hoping for a /23, and put one on each end of my network.
Well, it should be mentioned that going directly for BGP routing and
mentioning
that you are an ISP is probably not going to speed things up!
It would be advisable to start experiments with IPIP tunnels or other
connectivity
and add BGP routing later, as a service to local hams only.
There are lots of requests for large blocks to be BGP routed for
AMPRnet that really
are attempts from ISPs to get IPv4 space that they can no longer
obtain from the
normal registries, so this kind of requests and formulation will make the
coordinator very wary...
