Business plan is a useless term in this context. My earlier point which may not have been clear was that ARIN is not qualified to evaluate a business plan let alone compare my business plan to a competitors and make judgements as to what my (or their) need is. If they did do such a thing, it would be problematic. The three month window is a market limit not so much of a business limit unless ARIN unevenly applies the policies (which in my own view, they do). So with that said, yes, I agree, it applies to both free pool and transfer requests. > > I would venture that most end-user initial allocations are based on at least > somewhat forward-looking projections. All submissions regardless of who submits them follow this theme. You tell ARIN what you want. They guess if its credible or not, then assign what you need or figure out what policy to use to avoid fulfilling the request.
