I personally approved the sale on two conditions:
- The block wasn't being used by hams and had no viable prospect of
being used by hams.
I have just seen that parts of this block is used in Germany by some HAMs. If there was an arrangement with you? I don't know. Well, have you informed other IARU Members of the selling of this IP-block? When not, Your organisation should do it before HAMs in other countries will run in problems...
Renumbering of remote locations without any out-of-band access is not simple...
Remember, IPv4 addresses won't be valuable forever. IPv6 is developing slowly, but it *is* developing. I for one have long been interested in getting IPv6 much more widely used within amateur radio (as well as the larger Internet) as even the full 44/8 block was woefully inadequate for doing a lot of the things that could and should be done.
Is there a IPv6 Block registered to HAMs? The usage of IPv6 has some problems. First a lot of software has to be recompiled or completedly rewritten, the other problem sits between several chairs and keyboards. (as in a lot of other internet companies) Some developers, admins and ops do not understand the new addressing or routing and some hardware vendors do not give IPv6 a priority in developing...
