Zachary,
Well, but was the changing of money for a *purchase* or a *lease* ? The comi
ng
CIDRization seems to lend itself more toward leasing your IPs from your provi
der
than purchasing them... much like small companies rarely buy a suite in a lar
ger
building, instead they lease... with IPs though, the length of term of the le
ase
would be something to the effect of 'while getting service from the same prov
ider'.
The issue of leasing vs owning addresses is discussed
in draft-ietf-cidrd-addr-ownership-04.txt Internet Draft.
