Stop it right there.  There is no purchase involved. Once we talk about
purchase and ownership we are doomed. No aggrgation, no reclamation,
no leasing to refuce consumption. Erase those words from the discussion
please.

Now to Simon's remark: Where can I get a Swiss phone number in the 
Netherlands? I think we should not be overly concerned with this 
problem at the present time.

I support leasing of address space eventually. 
With all the problems involved.
One idea that is feasible then is to lease small amounts of address
space for longer times with advance payment. This gets around the
small bills problem.
