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

[Joshua D'Alton]

the top 100 AS globally would allow the rest (somewhere around 40k IIRC?)
something like 14x the number of IPs they have currently. I don't know
about you, but that is an insane amount of growth, even in the budget
VPS/DSL worlds.
