So if you’re looking to sell your WISP, make sure to value your IPs accordingly.. Or don’t include them as part of the sale, hold onto them for a few years while they go up in value and sell them later? Might be better returns than your IRA :)
Interesting fact, Charter sold a local cable plant to TDS and TDS in taking over had to bring their own IPs. The sale of the customers and assets did NOT include the IPs. -c > On Jan 20, 2016, at 7:08 AM, Josh Baird <[email protected]> wrote: > > http://www.ipv4auctions.com/ <http://www.ipv4auctions.com/> > > .. is a popular marketplace for IPv4.
