58% whois 24.0.0.0 @Home (NETBLK-ATHOME) ATHOME 24.0.0.0 - 24.3.255.0 Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) (RESERVED) (NET-RESERVED-24) RESERVED-24 24.4.0.0 - 24.255.255.0
On a related topic: I am guessing that this is the first allocation given to @Home by the InterNIC. I wonder how @home influenced the NIC's "slow start" procedure and acquired a /14 when the first allocation for every other ISP is /22 through /19. What works for a company that does not (yet) have a single customer ? Marketing hype, an ambitious business plan, impressive VC lineup, media hype or the presense of a highly respected routing expert ? I would like to know how we can "buy" addresses.
