That is not the new question -- i was trying to obtain the block equal to 8k class Cs a year ago -- unsuccessfully. How about treating Sprint's allocations as allocations for 10 providers in different geographical areas? --vadim Sean, Currently Sprint receives the largest sized CIDR block the InterNIC is permitted to allocate. If you have a requirement for an even larger block than please submit the justification and I will be glad to pass it onto the IANA for approval.
