The definition of LIR is different in different Regional Registries. I can think of at least one region where there is no connection between being an LIR and providing connectivity to other organizations. > As a data point, ARIN (in the last year) adopted a IPv6 PI for end sites > doing multihoming policy. Such end sites get a /48. The policy says something different: "The minimum size of the assignment is /48. Organizations requesting a larger assignment must provide documentation justifying the need for additional subnets." (from "6.5.8.2. Initial assignment size": http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six582) Again, no "one size fits all" policy.
