Hi all, Thinking about this, as I know it's being done but wanted others opinions on it and wondered what RIPE and Ofcom are doing about it or if they care:
1. RIPE - start a new Ltd company, pay your 2000 Euros to RIPE and get a /22 with no ASN. Transfer that back to your existing company for free. Saves paying £10~ per IPv4 address for a /22 on the open market. Or do this and add to your IP brokerage company so you can sell them. Various issues but folks are doing it. 2. Ofcom - with the newish charges per number range per year, for area codes that are classified as scarce, at £0.50 you get a £0.20~ discount on numbers ported out to another company. Upon a customer sign up for a telephone number in a scarce area, immediately port it to another Ltd company you own and receive your £0.20 per number per year discount. Thoughts? For me it's one of those things that should be very easily spotted and stopped, but does the blame lay with the schemes in general? Thanks, Gavin. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. http://www.surevoip.co.uk OpenPGP (GPG/PGP) Public Key: 0x8CFBA8E6 - Import from hkp://subkeys.pgp.net or http://www.suretecgroup.com/0x8CFBA8E6.gpg
