Any LIRs not having done so yet despite qualifying are likely running on<br>
auto-pilot in the enterprise world or are prevented from doing so by<br>
organizational red tape of some sort.<br>
<br>
There is undoubtedly a price point at which instead of the e-mails from would-be<br>
IPv4 brokers currently circulating that solicit LIRs to sell or lease<br>
unadvertised / unused space, LIRs will begin receiving e-mails from the same<br>
brokers with the subject line "Did you know you qualify for additional IP space<br>
you could sell at a considerable profit? We can help!".<br>
<br>
I suspect Remco's back-of-a-napkin calculations are actually incredibly<br>
conservative, and would like to reiterate my objection to 2015-05 and any future<br>
policy aiming to loosen the allocation criteria of the remaining crumbs of IPv4.<br>
<br>
Seeking to maximize the return on one's LIR fees is a perfectly rational<br>
expression of self-interest, but it is hardly a demonstration of responsible<br>
custodianship of the future of the Internet.<br>
