I am curious as to what happens if MomAndPopISP's address space has

created by a higher-tier ISP, say BigISP, in region B.
That means, most likely, that the resources listed in the ROA are
allocated to BigISP and I would presume that MomAndPopISP were simply
'renting' the resources from BigISP. Otherwise MomAndPopISP would
probably create their own ROA if it were PI space.
Let us say BigISP is an ISP one level higher in the hierarchy above
MomAndPopISP.
As a result, it appears that EngulfAndDevour in Region A would also
need
cooperation of BigISP in Region B to first revoke the existing ROA
before
it can create a new ROA for MomAndPopISP in its own region (Region A)?
In that case MomAndPopISP are irrelevant - the transfer is then from
BigISP to
EngulfAndDevour.
What incentive will BigISP have to cooperate and help EngulfAndDevour
without causing delays?
All and none. It depends on the business relationship between the two
since the resources sound like they are allocated to BigISP, not
MomAndPopISP.
