    Totally understand. My point was just that IMO the benefits of
    having sixteen thousand new businesses (yeah, I know, every block
    doesn't really mean a new business, yadda yadda yadda) in the
    economy would outweigh the economic disadvantages of running out of
    IPv4.<br>
    <br>
    I think we all agree on one fundamental point; If you're not playing

              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>

            Who says they're technology companies?  I have a client
            planning on getting an APNIC allocation in the coming
            financial year simply because dealing with small site
            multihoming any other way is becoming too painful.<br>
