ARIN rules effectively allow you to manage a /32 (or more) per POP,
with every POP getting the same sized block, rounded up to
nibble-boundary based on your plans.  You then take your number of
POPs and round that up to nibble-boundary.

This means many networks can effectively go to ARIN and get a /28 or
/24 today with no problem; some networks even bigger.  It also means
for ISPs there is going to be much less need to announce any routes
smaller than /32.  For PI end-users, though, the waters remain murky.
