Funky discovery... question is, why does GE need such massive addr space?
:slight_smile:

Because they are directly responsible for the existence of the Internet.
After all, GE invented the light bulb. If not for that we would have had
no vacuum tubes, thus no transistors, thus no ICs, thus no IMPs, thus no
Internet.

I didn't know Thomas Edison worked for GE?

Or maybe its because GE Information Systems ran the largest internet in
the world until the Internet surpassed it in size a couple of years ago.

Or maybe they don't. Why don't you ask them why they need it.

ARIN ought to be happy when they get their check for that one!

He founded The Edison Electric Company which became General Electric.

If you read through http://www.arin.net you should find some place where
it mentions that people with existing allocations don't pay anything until
they need additional address space.

Unless they plan on registering more space they won't be paying
a huge amount of money to ARIN.
