That doesn't address the point -- the point is that these ISP's are forcing the exchange of these blocks for new, previously unallocated space, and leaving holes in the old 128/2 space. These ISP's are massively contributing to the depletion of immediately available address space. Why not adopt a reasonable policy to accept up to /20's or up to /19's in the old B space so that organizations who already have these blocks can use them? /cah
