We got a new block from ARIN 12-23-2019 19:40:59.  I remember many that
were on the list for months to a few years that also got allocated that
week.


There was an influx of available space at ARIN around December/January. We
ended up getting a /23 during that timeframe as well, even though we'd been
buying space from third parties for a couple of years prior to that
exclusively because of ARIN exhaustion. Whether ARIN or other RIRs may have
such an influx again in the future remains to be seen, but it does pay to
be on the wait list just in case that time comes.
