However, I'll note that even 3X-Small ISPs probably wants to grow their business, eventually moving them into the 2X-Small ISP category. Once they have something like 150 to 200 customers they should be able to justify an additional /24 moving them into the 2X-Small ISP category. Further, even for an ISP with 150 to 200 customers the additional $250 in ARIN fees annually shouldn't be a significant roadblock to their growth. So, I think the natural incentives for the growth of their business will be sufficient to regulate this issue, and I don't think we need to micromanage this issue through policy.
