  Yes, Know this part and understand.  Sitll it does not answer the
original
question.  Whish was, "If I was to start a new Regional ISP
(Which I may shortly), and I request some /19's, you are saying 
I can't get them becouse I have no previous allocation of /19's. 
Where does this circle end?  Where and how do I get the allocation I
need for any type allocation for that matter without prior efficient
use, or in this case, any use, in that this is a new ISP?  It may be
a medium size ISP, or larg or x-large?  PLEASE ADVISE!
