What I am getting at is this is millions of dollars worth of IP real
estate. There are no rules defining how it is to be used other than self
imposed rules.
As the market seems to be at a peek I think it is worth discussion to lease
addresses to some major player like Google or Amazon in exchange for POP
access, funding of an endowment for future research, hardware, ect. What
is the value of lets say 2 million contiguous addresses on the open market?
