I have so many words for the conspiracy theorists and
negative naysayers,
but I’ll hold that back and not contribute to the shitstorm.
My main concern is what will stop the ARDC board from selling the next
25% or 50% of 44 space? The AMPR community wasn't involved what so ever
on this first sale of 25%! I guess the ARDC bylaws allowed for full
control of moves like this but I sure would have hoped that the
community would have been consulted and ideally, some sort of vote would
have been cast.
I do admit that there was a large chunk of address space going unused
and maybe a sale was warranted. NOT finding the true market value of
say many /20s or larger subnets to various companies that could afford
those lower costs around the globe just seems wrong on various levels.
There are a LOT of companies that need IPv4 space yet they were
excluded? Selling this huge chunk to Amazon for what I firmly believe
is below market rate seems native at possibly suspicious at the worst.
