How else would one prove utilization levels to ARIN when in need of
additional cidr space? And... what privacy rules? I've yet to see a
privacy policy published that indicates a firm will not share with it's
affiliates/parthers information necessary for providing service.

NetRange: 67.116.xxx.xxx - 67.116.xxx.xxx
CIDR: 67.116.xxx.xxx/29

Isn't this violating privacy rules? Geez!

Uh, well, no, AFAIK, it's a common practice (and a good idea, and
depending on your RR, possibly a requirement) to SWIP
allocations/assignments of /29 or larger.

They're just following BCP.

From http://www.arin.net/library/guidelines/swip.html

   When registering residential customers, ARIN recommends the phrase
"Private Residence" for the address. ISPs should provide the person's
name, city, state, postal code and country to complement the private
residence designation.

FYI.

I am shocked to see that there is a LIR that actually registers what they are supposed to (at least according to the RIPE region). Maybe not the same reason for shock though...

Hi,
  Actually this is what I was also wondering - I thought that half the
time LIRs don't register their assignments? Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Harsha.
