@ Hi. It's not good idea to discusse _can we /NIC/ allow or can we
@ disallow_.
@ More interesting is _how to prevent address space wasting_ and _how to
@ prevent extra payements..._.
@
@ If you'll disallow class B selling, Internet would lost 256*256
@ addresses, because this class B network would be unused (and somebody
@ would use class C networks instead_. It's bad thing, isn't it?
@
@ On the other hand, if you'll allow free saling of the address space,
@ internet would be the homeplace of the big nabobs who can bye total
@ address space and break down small competitors (and even small
@ countries); it'll mean the deaths of the Internet, isn't it?
@
This is the case now...upstream providers are the "big nabobs"...
they do not incur the costs of renumbering, they do not get concerned
when they make a bid to a customer, they have the resources
to deliver. They may not have paid for these resources but they
have them...just check the records...
@ I do not know how would NOC go between this _scilla_ and _charibda_, but
@ it's one of this important questions the internet's future depends of.

@
Yes...some people feel this is a very important area....
unfortunately, the solutions being proposed favor the
"big nabobs"...
