Originally, the space was used for some rather specialized connectivity 
services. Due to changes in the market and the legal environment, those 
services became less lucrative and the organization pivoted. 

Hardly any organization that has been in this business for more than 10 years 
is using every address they have for the exact purpose for which it was 
approved. 

None the less, delegating addresses to customers for their legitimate use as 
unique internet addresses remains the primary purpose of any IR whether it be 
regional, national, or local. 

There exists no requirement in policy that such delegations involve 
connectivity services. In fact, no RIR provides connectivity services to any of 
the organizations it issues addresses to. 

Certainly, if such a requirement were intended, it could have been written into 
the policy.
