I don't think there is any way to determine this beforehand.



We have had this discussion many times in the past 10 years. After many
rounds of e-mail, the consensus generally is that if geo is going to
happen, it will happen "bottom up" and be user driven.




This is news to me. I would really appreciate some pointers to archives 
of these past discussions.




For example, one

may see the chamber of commerce of lower Picardy request a /32 from

RIPE, and use it to provides "independent" /48 addresses to its 
members,

using a combination of tunnels and arrangements with local ISP. In 
fact,

there are already a few virtual ISP operating under this model.



So if I want to do this in a slightly larger area, say everything 
within a 20000 km radius of The Hague, I could get a larger address 
block, say a /16?
