My definition of fairness, in this context, is that we (the community) will (within the justified time frame jitter) run out of IPv4s to allocate/assign/transfer at about the same time for those with current need. I support needs based assignment/allocation/transfer, as attempting to implement my definition of fairness. Even recognizing that existing policy will be imperfect in practice, and there will always be those that look to game the system. There should be no $MEGACORP$ advantage by being able to agree to transfer a 10 years advanced supply, giving them a competitive advantage over their competitors or new entrants. We sink (in IPv4), or swim (in IPv6) together. btw, I really with more $MEGACORP$s would IPv6 enable their main web sites to demonstrate (if nothing else) that they *do* get it, and are serious about moving themselves and their customers forward.
