IP addresses are very valuable..."routable" IP addresses are even more valuable...routability is determined by other Internet participants being willing to route your traffic...if you have a nicely aggregated block of addresses then you are OK...if not, then you are in trouble...
Well, I am sure the InterNIC would be more than willing to trade a small, fully utilized block for a larger block with room to grow. But I won't mention the R word here :)
ISPs will have to start "seizing" blocks of addresses from IANA and taking over allocation responsibility to survive... as you can read between the lines on http://www.netsol.com no one is going to insure that your business survives...
Well, I doubt this will happen any time soon. Remember what happened to the person who was announcing 208/8. -- Steven Eric Rubin Aimnet Corporation Senior Network Engineer 2350 Mission College Park (408) 567-3820 x511 Santa Clara, CA 95054 Work: ser () aimnet com Play: ser () tch org URL: http://anarky.tch.org/~ser
