And if you give out a /24, /23, or /22 to a new ISP but reserve a /19 for them, you will have under-utilized your old space by the current interpretations used by the NIC, I believe. Hey, I don't make the rules. Neither does Kim, but she does interpret them. I would love to know if the NIC is allowing as reasonable reserved allocations of /19s (of course, /19s won't get past the Sprint route import filters) for new or even semi-new and expanding ISPs. "NIC is allowing as reasonable" == when looking at your %age of space in your total existing allocations that isn't used, an "acceptable" explanation is that you've reserved it for growth by a set of people.
