That depends on how you see their "demontrated need." The way I look at
it, if you build your network squatting on someone elses addresses,
that's a problem of your own making and does not equate to any
"immediate need" on my (channeling ARIN) part. This is a mess they
created for themselves and should have known was going to bite them in
the ass sooner than later. Translation: they should have started working
to resolve this a long time ago. (or never done it in the first place.)
And if I may say, they've demonstrated no need at all for public address
space. They simply need to stop using 5/8 as if it were 10/8 -- i.e.
they need more private address space. They don't need *public* IPv4
space for that. They will need to re-engineer their network to handle
the addressing overlaps (ala NAT444.)
Heh, if this is about TMO, then they're squatting on alot more then just
5/8... My phone has an IP address in 22/8, and I've seen it get IPs in
25/8, 26/8 as well.
I've always wondered what the deal was with the obviously squatted
addresses that my device gets.
