He doesn't qualify for PI space, thanks to ARIN policies set by people who want routing tables to stay as small as possible, so PI space to be as difficult as possible to obtain for people like him.
Would it help if ARIN's policies were changed to allow anyone and everyone to obtain PI space directly from them (for the appropriate fee, of course), and then it was left up to the operating community to decide whether or not to route the smaller chunks of space? Right now, we're trying to keep the two communities somewhat in alignment, so that when people obtain IP space, they have a relatively good feeling about it being routed correctly. If we let the ARIN policies stray too far from what the router operators can/will accept, we're going to end up with an ugly, fragmented internet in which organizations are given PI GUA space, only to discover it's not actually useful for reaching large swaths of the internet. I'd hazard a guess that people would consider that to be a worse scenario than the one in which we limit who can get PI space so that there's a reasonably good probability that when the space is issued and announced via BGP, it will be reachable from most of the rest of the internet...that is to say, our current modus operandi.
