Yes, true, but last time I was involved it was getting pretty difficult for startup ISP's to get allocations. You pretty much had to get a temporary allocation from an existing provider until you got large enough to justify your own directly-allocated netblocks. Anyway, I wasn't trying to get overly deep with my original post, just point out that in this case "fully allocated" is far from "no more available addresses".
