I wonder what would happen if a new ARIN member requested an IPv4 block of say a /16 for a new business? Or even a smaller block. I don't know what the current ARIN rules are but RIPE will currently give out six months worth of space. Now, in six months, I don't expect there to be any left anyway, so what will likely be all the v4 you ever get.
Very soon it'll be nigh on impossible for new entrants to the ISP business to get their own v4 space.
Isn't that the point?
That's what I'm thinking. :) I don't plan on requesting any v4 space from ARIN. Just using provider space for the small v4 traffic needs. -- Charles N Wyble charles@knownelement.com @charlesnw on twitter http://blog.knownelement.com Building alternative,global scale,secure, cost effective bit moving platform for tomorrows alternate default free zone.
