I've never heard of such a thing. Businesses maybe and not residential? Businesses getting a carve-out for their network would be pretty standard.

Interesting though, I'll ask around.

The way I heard it was individuals could apply too with a valid reason and one guy I knew online several years ago said “I’m a foreigner who wants to access my own country’s internet” was a valid reason. May have changed since Covid for all I know he left around that time.
