RE: IP4 Space

That brings a question to mind.  As an ISP, with IPv4, end sites that
are multihoming can justify a /24 from us (or another upstream) and
announce it through multiple providers.  With IPv6, are they supposed
to
get their block from ARIN directly if they are multihoming?  In other
words, should I _never_ allow customers to announce smaller blocks of
my
IPv6 ARIN block?

According to ARIN, you must meet their IPv4 requirements for an ARIN
block to get an IPv6 ARIN block.  That leads me to believe that the same
customers who need v4 space from you would also need v6 space from you.
