John said: > Well, you could acquire a company that already has one. :) That has been the suggestion from several people. I've even considered it, especially when one of my local competitors has a /18, and they are much smaller than we are. We 'NAT' an incredible amount of dial-up and commercial customers to reduce our need for public IP's, and trends thankfully went to customers WANTING to be NAT'd and Proxied for 'firewall' reasons, with only a few public IP's. It seems a poor reasons for acquiring a company, as they really do not "own" the address space. --Mike--
