Dear list,
Since IPv4 exhaustion is an increasingly serious and timely topic lately, I would like to point out something that interests me, and maybe everyone else who will be spending a lot on Tylenol and booze when we really do run out of v4 IPs.
I have trouble understanding why an ARIN record for a network regularly receiving new, out-sized IPv4 allocations on the order of millions of addresses at once would publish a remark like the one below, indicating that Verizon Wireless has about 2 million IPs allocated.
