ISPs must now show 75-80% utilization of existing address space prior to allocation of new address space. >Why doesn't the Internic require that Class A delegates, use those >addresses rather than addresses from other parts of the spectrum...??? To my knowledge they do. Note that this is a relatively recent policy shift. I do know ISPs with class As have been refused new allocations until they can dmonstrate they have utilized 70-80% of their class A, however it is easy to hide that you are from an organization with existing space. >For example, why are name servers allowed in 192 and 204...as shown >below...??? It would be easy for the Internic to have a policy that >does not allow the foll owing... There are many such examples (IBM, PSI, BBN, etc). However, I do not believe there have been new allocations to these organizations in the recent past. >Should companies be given recognition for "Internet Ecology" efforts...??? >Hewlett-Packard Company (NET-HP-INTERNET) You are basing too much on what companies use for their DNS. HP has lots of other address space as well. Regards, -drc
