Just for reference the policy with regard to IXPs says this below. I believe that the point was that the IXP had to have at least two customers and all this other information that they are providing a credible IXP in order to get a micro allocation. -----Cathy
"Exchange point operators must provide justification for the allocation, including: connection policy, location, other participants (minimum of two total), ASN, and contact information. ISPs and other organizations receiving these micro-allocations will be charged under the ISP fee schedule, while end-users will be charged under the fee schedule for end-users. This policy does not preclude exchange point operators from requesting address space under other policies."
