This type of post should be a wake-up call for all of those who say we don't need more space. The moment the cost of space will go up, people will look for an alternative to paying more. I guess we'll see how much or little the market will bear. Wonderful inflation. -- Christian Kuhtz, Sr. Network Architect Architecture, BellSouth.net <ck@arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck@gnu.org> -hm Atlanta, GA "Speaking for myself only." -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of John Smaling Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 4:16 PM To: 'nanog@merit.edu' Subject: Request for assistance -- This is not intended to be SPAM, but a legitimate request for advice. An organization I work for, holds a registered full class 'B' address range. Since we are moving to an RFC 1918 based addressing scheme, we are looking to "sell" the rights to utilize our class 'B'. Having no experience with this, I can only assume that perhaps a secondary tier ISP may have an interest in this, but I have no idea where to begin, or if this has value at all. Can someone provide me with some advice relative to what types of organizations might be interested in such a purchase, who they might be, and any other pertinent information. I'm aware that ARIN provides this type of thing for a price, that they publish on their Web site. I'd like to reiterate that I'm not looking for buyers through this forum, but advice on how I might go about pursuing this. end
