Network managers also don't have to expose business plans to a registrar for evaluation for networks that are not attached to the global Internet.
I think this is a real problem, because registrars still do not understand the amount of address space they have. Simply charge a linearly increasing fee and be done with it.
This issue does not exist for IPv6. The RIR policies for allocating IPv6 address space say one can give each end site a /48 (or /64). There is no need to count hosts or in any other way justify how many hosts one has.
This a *big* change from IPv4.
See, for example, http://www.arin.net/policy/ipv6.html
