Re: [address-policy-wg] 2017-03 New Policy Proposal (Reducing Initial IPv4 Allocation, aiming to preserve a minimum of IPv4 space)

Then they have to buy addresses in the market. I keep running into people who claim "look, RIPE is not out of IPv4 addresses, the IPv4 exhaustion is just a hype/FUD".

people will say all sorts of stupid things; funny monkeys we are. this does not mean we should use technology to teach morality lessons. it has not worked out too well when tried.

They won't stop until RIPE is really out.

and of course they will find nothing else to complain about, accuse, try to scam, ... and cash will fall from the sky. randy
