RE: Get as much IP space as you ever dreamed of, was: Re: Looking to buy IPv4 addresses from class C swamp

And something else a lot of people tend to forget - just because space isn't
in the tables doesn't mean it's not in use.

There are companies that connect to thousands of other companies (see the
financial markets) that require unique addressing between companies with
non-colliding address ranges.  10.x.x.x doesn't quite cut it.

So you're claiming that ARIN should revoke any allocations, including those
made before it came into existence, simply because the addresses aren't in
the global tables?

If that's the position of the community, that's a drastic change from
assertions made in the IETF WGs and may affect address allocation guidelines
and even some protocol work.
