Hi Noah, Never say never. The community has long permitted ISPs to authorize a customer to use their /24 with service from another vendors' network. Historically, a few ISPs even allowed some customers to keep their IP addresses when they left. Policy targeting IP-leasers should take care not to stomp on these longstanding and reasonable uses. This is why I suggested a policy which simply declares such addresses unused for justification purposes: a small amount of such activity by otherwise legitimate ISPs won't cause them a problem but it'd block anybody from making a business model out of it.
