Hm, you would probably have more time, when bringing your mails
down to facts instead of writing lines and lines of lyrics ...

Nearly all IPv4 space has been given to people and companies.
There is nearly nothing left you could give away ...

I agree, that there are many many IPv4 addresses currentyl wasted,
unused like all these big class-A blocks they gave to the
NSA, HP, Apple aso, wich can never proof a need of that many IPs for
servers and equipment.

And there are stupid big block reservations for protocols nobody
actually uses, like internal networks, multicast aso.
They could be reduced to a single Class-B for example ...

There are also lots of blocks given to people and companies that
do illegal or unwanted things, at least in some countries ...

And there are lots of big blocks wasted with companies (I would
say typically access providers), that are really to stupid
to configure there equipment right and instead ordered
more and more IPs (an example: the German DTAG could only
give access to 80 Million people maximum, guess how many
IPs they have for access purpose ?)

All those IPs could be used much better and probably last a very
long time ...


But: those netblocks have been given to the resource holders
under the regulations of that time.
Do you really want to change the regulations now, to take
resources "back" ?

You have have to be "Robin Hood" to achieve that ...


Good luck, Frank
