The problem is the Internic (and IANA) policies...
...plus the "subjective" decision making process that
the Internic uses in issuing IP addresses and the
fact that ONE person makes the decision..."period"
there is no appeal, no auction, no democractic process...
We now have the "IP haves" and "IP have nots"...
IP addresses are very valuable..."routable" IP addresses
are even more valuable...routability is determined by other
Internet participants being willing to route your traffic...if
you have a nicely aggregated block of addresses then you
are OK...if not, then you are in trouble...
ISPs will have to start "seizing" blocks of addresses from
IANA and taking over allocation responsibility to survive...
as you can read between the lines on http://www.netsol.com
no one is going to insure that your business survives...
The Internet is now a "dog eat dog" world...
