ISP licenses are for reselling bandwidth :). If you buy enough bandwidth, you will get your /27, or /24... You would need to buy 1Mbps of bandwidth to get a /24.

The only reason the Internet is expensive here is because almost all the traffic goes out of the country on very limited bandwidth. Plus, most ISPs seem to think of the Internet as a cable TV like service where you just download. >Even cheaper if you settle for a dynamic IP with PPPoE that remains static >more or less forever (Seems to be bound to the MAC address of your NIC, from >what I can see). > >/27 is more or less the internationally accepted minimum if you want ISPs to >advertise your net. Last I knew it was /26. And a /24 is given much more preference.
