Oh, I totally agree with you!
I just think it'd be hard to enforce.

I disagree. While the waitlist may help companies offer
competitive services for their product lines, it should not be the
"product" itself. I.e. the offering of IP services should be coupled
with the actual offering of services.
To point, if companies offer connectivity-related services, such as,
but not limited to, hosting, transit, data transit, and ISP, I don't
have an issue as these are in the spirit of what IP resources
should be obtained for.
Obtaining IP resources for the purposes of immediately reselling or
leasing them to companies is not in the spirit of ARIN's policies.
The waitlist should not be designed for companies simply to make money
by "waiting" in line as a spot holder than reselling the IP addresses.

To be honest, the whole purpose of the waitlist is for companies
to make money from obtaining IP space. True, we usually assume
they'll be doing it the old-fashioned way, by (gasp) offering
services - however I think that somehow "tainting" the
waitlist-obtained addresses is going to cause more trouble than it
would prevent.

Are you asking if an entity were to obtain IP space from the
waitlist, should they be permitted to lease it to someone else?
My answer is a resounding no. That defeats the whole purpose of
the waitlist. Entities should not be encouraged to hoard IP space
because ARIN will subsidise the cost, allowing a for-profit
entity to make money from obtaining IP space.
