Hi All,
The subject line is a question I posed to Geoff Huston years ago in response to us both musing what the price to purchase address space would be.
I suggested that if it really got that bad, people would be asking about leasing by the hour rather than buying outright.
That time looks to be upon us. While not explicitly allowed, nor disallowed by APNIC policy, IP address leasing is becoming a hot topic of discussion on relevant APNIC lists.
Who needs 20,282,409,603,651,670,423,947,251,286,016 addresses? Oh wait, we're still living in the past. Anybody got ideas on when IPv6 will actually be available, and allocated by default, to anyone who orders 'The Internet'? What's the actual holdup? Apologies for the grumble :-( Richard
