Please have a look at the below whitepaper. Utilized according to the outlined disciplines, this is a practically unlimited resources. It has been known that multi-national conglomerates have been using it without announcement. So, you can do so stealthily according to the proposed mechanism which establishes uniform practices, just as well. https://www.avinta.com/phoenix-1/home/RevampTheInternet.pdf 2) Being an unorthodox solution, if not controversial, please follow up with me offline. Unless, other NANOGers express their interests.
