Hi Michelle,"In most cases"? That is like saying that most of the IP addresses in the Internet are dynamic. I personally do not know if this is or isn't the case.
The entry in the RIPE Database regarding NON-PORTABLE are to tell your customers that NO, they can't have these IP addresses when they change service providers - They are NOT Portable. These numbers are assigned to a provider - and they stay with that provider. I don't know if RIPE even still issues Provider Independent addresses....
