Re: ARIN policy on acquisitions ?

I bet that even a business plan like this could raise $100MM in the public markets (maybe not right now, but in six months when Internet is back in favor). "At Strangle.net, we plan to enter the market by killing our competitors, rather than wasting money on advertising and sales people..." Seems to work for the RBOCs. A variation on this theme (not restricted to ISPs) is to pay a premium price to acquire your competitors, /then/ strangle them. Pete. On Mon, 2 Aug 1999, Randy Bush wrote:

Does any one know what ARIN's policy is on ISP acquisition ?

why should they acquire them when they can strangle them? :-)
