As a cable ISP, my company is required to SWIP each netblock that we use.
The name of the netblock corresponds to the POP name.  We're applying for
space again too, and as a standard procedure, we include utilization
statistics for each netblock, and for each POP.  We will be asked questions
if, for instance, we gave a new assignment for a POP before the last block
was not a certain percentage utilized.
