Hoarding. If I collect quarters because I like shiny round objects that increase in value, the mint just makes more. There is no mint that can make more IPv4 addresses, so we need controls against starving fresh demand while others hold on to IPv4 addresses which aren't being efficiently used to provide services. Commodities are not generally a true zero-sum game. IPv4 redistribution is. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D. Herrin ................
