Also, who's this 'we'.. I don't live in california... I presume UC is getting funding from california, not virginia.

Chris,
Remember that state college systems receive federal education funding; some of your dollars are in this pot, too.
Sure,but... that space has been an internet telescope supporting numerous research folk for a decade + (probably closer to 2 decades). the amazon prefix is longer by a bit so won't really use the /8 even if ucsd keeps the /8 up. a bunch of this just sounds like grousing, which I guess is great... but none of this is particularly un-predictable. I find a bunch of the other sales far more sketchy :( I also find this prefix hilarious: 149.1.0.0/16 (not a sale, but surely available if you track down the owner .. who owns a winery) anyway, it'll be fun watching what happens with 44/8 I suppose.
