Sorry for beeing too brief here: From my perspective, becoming an LIR
implies the intend to provide service a lot of customers, and I don't
see how a single /24 would suffice there. That's what I meant with
"basically useless" (from a business point of view).
In that case, IPv4 is "basically useless" from a business point of view.
But that statement is provably false.
Additionally, a lot of business is about providing services that are *not* connectivity-based, to a lot of customers.
Additionally, a lot of connectivity services can be provided via NAT.
And so on.
This line of argument is not fruitful, sorry. Please abandon it.
