[AusNOG] /16 for sale.... well not really but why not!

[Joshua D'Alton]

I had some nice examples of why it would last more than just a couple of
months, but chrome crashed and it has been gone into enough. It would work
though for the majority of smaller companies, most of the exhaustion comes
from the large companies, not the small ones. And its the large companies
who can afford v6, while the smaller companies cannot so much. You only
need to look at v6 implementation to see this.
