Bill - I believe you already asked about how we determine address utilization in this regard, and there was a fairly lengthy discussion on 7 October 2013 - <http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/arin-ppml/2013-October/027374.html> Short answer remains that ARIN administers address space for use in the region, which means that the utilization considered must be based on the customer or equipment assignments within the ARIN region.
