The 16777214 IP addresses (give or take) in their 12/8 assignment aren't enough? Oh wait, it's probably used internally and renumbering to 10/8 would be too big a hurdle to take. ;-)
The 12/8 address space is fully allocated out, I believe entirely to customers. Do the math. 35,000,000 residential customers (plus) on DSL and FTTx (many with a /29, /27, or larger assigned), plus very many managed services customers with full /24s and even /16s. It's no wonder they're hungry for IP space. Their enormous customer base is hungry for it. -- Paul Bennett
