I think that there was a pretty good understanding that, if ARIN did not embrace the transfer market, there would have been a black market anyway.
I completely disagree with this supposition. We have the ability to regulate these transfers. If we do so correctly, there will be no black market.
My suggestion is : transparent pricing is the next step. I am not suggesting that ARIN becomes the eBay of market transfers, but I am suggesting that ARIN publishes data about market pricing.
Postel is presently rolling in his grave at such a rate that if we attach magnets to him and place inductors around him, we could produce the 1.21 gigawatts necessary to go back in time and prevent the monitization of IP addresses in the first place.
This is fundamentally allowing profit from something that belongs to everyone; a far cry from the intentions of the inventors of this vast and powerful technology called the internet.
