Can anyone suggest a good way to get a CIDR block from the internic? We are two separate isps with separate ASNs, merged under one corporation, with one of them currently getting addresses from an upstream provider (/20). The problem is that in that location we are out of addresses, are multi-homed, and dissatisfied with our current provider. We need addresses before we can switch over, but the internic refuses to release any to us until we have used another /20 from our current provider. Thus, the internic has forced us to use one carrier with poor service. Legally, is this a monopoly? Has anyone started a class action suit? Can anyone help us? ________________________________ WING - Wilder InterNet Gateway admin@id.wing.net ________________________________
