John, Given ARIN's STLS, it would seem even ARIN has the 'right perspective' to see the "up$ide". It's more about the implication of folks having increasing financial incentive to go outside the existing mechanisms (e.g., Nortel/Microsoft) and the implications that has on network operations. Since it would seem we have an impedance mismatch on this topic, I'll not bore NANOG with further discussion. Regards, -drc On Apr 19, 2011, at 11:37 AM, John Curran wrote:

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how a bunch of different entities providing fragmented "post-allocation services" is of any benefit.
Jeff -
Imagine for a moment that you had quite a few unneeded addresses and the upheaval also meant no pesky policy constraints on your monetization efforts - would you then view it as having some benefit? You just might not have the right perspective to appreciate the potential up$ide...
