And if a big nameserver gets a /32, why doesn't a bank? I mean, most

But if the bank gets to multihome, then why not large etailers?

And if the large ones get to, what about the medium-sized ones?

ISPs know that keeping the routing infrastructure working is very 
important. End-users generally don't.

IPv4 so we can start again from scratch.
