No worries, I think I was clear about it being speculation on my part. Regardless of how you acquire the addresses, I think my point stands about the fact that for the most part, leasing is making addresses available that probably wouldn’t make it to the transfer market. Owen > On Sep 23,

Wrong again Bill. What can't you understand about purchasing addresses at fair market price? How is that rent-controlled, please elaborate? Actually the current policy is rent-control! Are you not understanding that these are not free pool addresses? Regards, Mike On Thu, 23

Hi Bill, Wrong. Arin processes a purchase of address. I turn around and lease them for a fraction of that amount. I add accessiblity and affordability for the lessees, or there is no market. It's as simple as a bank financing a pickup truck. Is the bank guilty of rent-seeking?

Hi Bill, You are completely neglecting risk in your assumption that no value is added. I add value by transferring cash to somebody else in the hope I can lease the purchased IPv4 out for a profit before China and the DoD dump addresses on the market. It's basic economics. Does an apartment

First, I do not support this policy as written. However, I do support allowing leasing or loaning of IPv4 address space independent of providing connectivity, and probably allowing leasing or loaning of addresses as justification for at least the transfer of additional addresses, through purchase

The ONLY antitrust issue I see being expressed in the discussion that we have been having is that of ARIN. ARIN has specifically positioned itself as THE source of internet addresses within its region. That itself looks like a classic antitrust issue by itself. Even LIR's are required to
