That's different and the exception to the rule.  Like (I'd guess) the 
majority of ARIN customers/members, Atlantic.Net is based in the US and at 
least at the moment does business only in the US.  Should we be able to go 
RIR shopping and "buy space" from whichever RIR has the best prices and IP 
allocation policies (from our point of view obviously)?  I think that's 
the question being asked.
