Couple of thoughts in no particular order;<br>
<br>
1. My observation is that there are far more hosting providers
hoarding space than there are hosting customers doing the same
thing.<br>
<br>
2. You're raging against the machine about IPv6 uptake yet your
AAAA's are AWOL. I understand and think it's a great thing that
you're offering it to customers, but this dilutes your argument.
Having some excuse about a non-descript technical fault really
doesn't cut it. If you want to have a strong opinion on others not
running it you really need to pick up your game here.<br>
<br>
3. Thinking on a macro level for a minute - I'd be absolutely stoked
if we ran out of IPv4 in the next 12 months, know why? Because it
would mean that ~ 16,384 new technology companies big enough to
warrant prefix allocation had sprung up. The broader regional
economic implications of this would, IMO, far outweigh any argument
for WAHHHHHH, NO CAN HAS MORE IPv4.<br>
<br>
4. I'm not having a crack at you here - If your value system is such
that you feel compelled to rag on your customers to APNIC about
perceived resource misallocation posting it on a public mailing list
from your company email address is a s..t corporate branding
exercise.<br>
<br>
