[address-policy-wg] The final /8 policy proposals, part 2

Hi Milton,

Rhetorical question ? Haven't got a clue on what current prises are  
for /24 on the black market. But we all know that not any amount of  
money will create more addresses as we currently have, so why not  
1,000,000,000,000,000 dollar.

Whould Rembrandt have realized "Portrait of a Lady Aged 62" would ever  
be sold for almost 20 million pounds, when he faced her to make a  
first draft ?

Grtx,

Marco
