and we are supposed to be surprised or feel sorry? you're kidding, right? they're lucky to be in a/p. at least they can get a /22.
i especially like the "the way they would like" part. the way i would like to run my business is to go into the office every friday and scoop up the cash that fell from the sky all week.
reality is such a pain in the ass.

+1 aren't we way past all of the predicted exhaustion dates. There are
slot of as's that have ignored this.
predictions are ... predictions! guesses. swag. nothing more/less.
i will say this however. after fifteen years, I am exhausted listening to
ipv6 v. ipv4 bickering. (and after five years of running native ipv6-only
networks - i've re-introduced ipv4 to the mix... go figure)

I see your point. The world was supposed to end dozens of times as well. Sorry to hear you had to reintroduce v4. I suppose if dinosaurs were still around we'd have to capitulate to them too. The people who see a T-rex and say "hey I thought they were extinct?!" would just get eaten. but I digress. I'm not sure I'd open a new ISP at this point and expect to get any respectable amount of IP space from the RIR right now.
