The RIRs talk to anyone who submits the appropriate forms.  They'll even 
help you fill out the forms if you can give them enough information to do 
so.  You could even do it by phone or snail mail if you've been living under 
a rock and still don't have Internet service.

ARIN policy, at least, explicitly allows for direct assignments to end sites 
even if they're not connected -- just like IANA assigned Class A/B/C blocks 
to disconnected orgs back in the good ol' days.
