All 3 registries have essentially the same policy with respect to the
growth of new blocks.  However, given InterNIC's load, the end effect
may be different (remember, InterNIC receives approximately 50 new ISP
requests per week -- how much space should they reserve for new ISPs?).

Your proposal is?  If you say charging for address space, please
explain what would stop deep pocket companies from buying up all the
address space?
