And if the ISP doesn't comply with the user's demand, can one of their
recourses be to appeal to ARIN?  Obviously, in a healthy market another,
and maybe more effective, option is to get another ISP.  However, not all
markets are healthy and too frequently users have only one realistic option
for an ISP, especially in rural areas.

I think it is important that if a user requests a SWIP from an ISP, and
they not given the SWIP, this should be at very least a technical violation
of ARIN policy.  Is ARIN going to revoke an ISP's address space because of
a single complaint from a user in this regard, of course not, but I would
expect ARIN to intercede with an ISP on behalf of the user.  However, if
there are repeated issues, especially large numbers of them, and if there
are other policy violations too, then I would expect harsher actions by
ARIN eventually.

Thanks
