After negotiating with multiple prospective buyers, Cerner Corp. agreed to buy the Internet addresses for $12 each. Other bids were as low as $1.50 each, according to a bankruptcy court filing.
Someone should tell Cerner Corp you can still get them for free, and thus they overpaid by oh, $12 an address!
I'm waiting for someone to come back and balk at $12/address, and try to reduce the number of addresses they buy, forgetting that pesky powers- of-two business: "In the interest of containing the cost of the deal, XYZ Corp has agreed to buy 27,000 addresses instead of the original 65,536."
That will be a definite facepalm moment.
