Im not sure if he meant IPv4 or IPv6 transits...

I dont think any maximum or minimum requirements should be set.  The maximum would restrict itself.
Enterprise companies and institues often dont have ipv4 transit at all (and colocated servers doesnt have "transit" either).
There are already pTLA-holders like this.

On http://www.6bone.net/6bone_hookup.html it says only ISP's can apply for a pTLA.  Maybe the definition of an ISP should be sorted
out ?
