We are now having an increasing number of the larger ISPs 
coming to ARIN with allocation requests, as can be seen
in the statistics regarding ISP allocations at:<https://www.arin.net/knowledge/statistics/index.html>

It is possible that this is the result of improved understanding
of the situation subsequent to transfer discussions.   It is 
equally possibly just the result of IPv6 awareness activities,
etc.
