Hello Antonis,
Wow.. what an excellent read and the results are very interesting!
Whenever I see maps like this, I ask myself why do companies like Hp,
Ford and the US Government continue to keep such huge swaths of address
space that's unused. I'm 99% sure they could sell or even give away
huge chunks of address space and never notice. One could argue that
unless address block owners cannot demonstrate some level of real usage,
they should be forced to release the blocks to communities that will. I
doubt that will happen now that we really have commercially viable IPv6
but one can still wish.

Hello fellow 44net users,
Yesterday I posted an analysis of the utilization of 44/8 on my blog, and you can find
that here: https://blog.daknob.net/mapping-44net/

I thought you may find it interesting to read, and it also includes a map of the entire
IPv4 and IPv6 Internet as a bonus so you can compare our usage to other parts of it.
A note is that currently Germany's 44.148/15 already has very similar utilization to
that of one of the most dense networks, 185/8 (comparison with 185.148/15):

<https://blog.daknob.net/content/images/2021/05/44-de-185-eu.png> . According to the
ping data, HAMNET accounts for over 75% of the hosts alive during the measurement, so
that's a great example of what is possible for the entire network!
I'll be happy to hear any thoughts and comments you may have on the topic.
