For the people really using their IP addresses according to current policy, this is nothing. For the people with historic allocations (/8 for instance), they would really have to think if it's worth $16m to keep that /8. Most likely scenario is that this would free up a lot of IPv4 address space. If this causes migration to IPv6, well, so be it. I seriously doubt it, only thing I think would happen is that we would free up IPv4 space and it would live longer. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
