Not at all... Since they wouldn't SWIP the space for the /32, /31, or /30 assignments, there's
no obfuscation of that space under residential customer privacy.

If 75% of their space is in residential /32s, infrastructure, etc. they still don't trigger.

A /24 for a market should _NOT_ be SWIP'd as residential privacy. It should be counted as
a market-serving DHCP range registered to the provider. So, if they're doing incorrect SWIPs
a resource review is legitimate.

No, the trigger does not target them if they keep their records correctly.

That still doesn't result in the trigger. Again, they shouldn't be SWIPing the space they use in the
manner you describe, so, it wouldn't affect the trigger.

No. See me at the break and I will explain this to you in detail. It really does not afflict them in the
manner you are describing if they are keeping their records correctly.
