I have to disagree with you, there IS a v4 market .. and people are already in pain or are looking at how to fix their issue. I see people trying to buy IPv4 space (even if most of them are spammers). I do not see many people trying to sell IPv4 space.
Why sell now while the price is still going up?
Funny enough we do get a lot of requests to give IP space away during the last few month and we never had these kind of requests before. Usually the interest drops, when we tell them, that we only use our allocation for services in our housing centers :o) This increased interest could be, because IPv4 space is getting rare or it could also be because of the new abuse-c. Usually our customers are quite happy, if they dont have to manage an abuse address themself. But its funny with these kind of offers we get now, they always offer to handle abuse reports themself :o) Thats make me thinking: - what about an LIR that does not know, what his "customer" is doing ? lets say, he sells the IP space, it gets announced somewhere in the world, he does not route it, it not his AS anymore and surely not his abuse-c How can he control the initial usage of the "customers" netblocks ? How could he be informed by others, that his "customer" is a professional spammer ? Kind regards, Frank -- PHADE Software - PowerWeb http://www.powerweb.de Inh. Dipl.-Inform.
