It's not that easy anymore. Seven years ago when we applied to get our first ARIN block, it took about 2-3 days and some paperwork. We got a /18 without too much trouble.
A year ago, we started the process to get another block. This took over a month, with over 30 emails back and forth, and even then they would only allocate us a /20 because that's all we would need for the next 2 years. When I asked about year 3 and on, they said "re-apply for more space then". Meanwhile, places like Mercedes have a /8 and they are using less than 1% of it. :( Travis Microserv Bradley D.
