We don't disagree much. Put it in context: it was a large scale production talk where a /20 is a toy, and the point I was trying to make then is that there is not much of a speculation market. For that audience who turns out to have deep pockets, it would indeed make sense to pay MORE per IP to have a short, contiguous prefix rather than a boatload of scattered /24s from all over the swamp. My personal view is that it's still a market where cold heads prevails and buyers are coming to it with a specific need, purpose or project. The Microsoft / Nortel deal has set the baseline price at $10 a pop, and more or less market fluctuations and other factors this is what we are still seeing. That being said, it's a new market, with a very large FUD potential. Some people out there are getting excited about the idea of buying a /16, carving it up into /24s to resell / lease, and making a buck out of it. These wheeler-dealers don't understand the value of a large allocation, they think retail where one buys bulk and packages it small. I don't see that happening, but never say never.
