RE: The Department of Work and Pensions, UK has an entire /8

The only slight snag in his argument is that the addresses are not unused. Not announced != Not used.

And for the definitive answer on this block, the official response is: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/internet_protocol_ipv4_address_a and http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/internet_protocol_ipv4_address_a_2 This is astounding. Are we really to believe that the UK Defense folks are using 60% of a /8 - about 10,066,000 addresses? Even if every sub-allocation within that 60% were only 50% utilized, that would be over 5,000,000 addresses. Internally Allocated != used And someone should further alert him that they do not "own" these addresses.
