If, on the other hand, Even being big won't help. I know of a certain multinational company that has just spent $15M on lines and routers covering Europe (30 cities) and was only allowed to get a /19 since that is what one gets when one is new to the block, irregardless of whether you are in one city with a 256kb line to Dante or Ebone and 32 modems or whether you are a planning on being a big player (since, I guess, everyone comes along and shows how they are a *big* player). So this company went out and bought out a European ISP with a class A and has now solved its IP address shortage. >Kai Schlichting >Internet Project Manager, BelCom, Inc. >[email protected] Hank Nussbacher Israel
