Funky discovery... question is, why does GE need such massive addr space? :)

Because they are directly responsible for the existence of the Internet. After all, GE invented the light bulb. If not for that we would have had no vacuum tubes, thus no transistors, thus no ICs, thus no IMPs, thus no Internet.

I didn't know Thomas Edison worked for GE?

Or maybe its because GE Information Systems ran the largest internet in the world until the Internet surpassed it in size a couple of years ago.

Or maybe they don't. Why don't you ask them why they need it.

ARIN ought to be happy when they get their check for that one!
