With this, soon there would be "Microsoft Networking Ltd.", "Cisco
Networking Ltd." etc. companies getting LIR and .. you guessed .. only
having one customer (or perhaps also the offices in countries) each :-)

So, one could require at least 20 customers.. but that's not perfect 
either.

The application process should be open (for people to see, and to dispute 
the application's validity).
