Re: ARIN Enters Phase Four of the IPv4 Countdown Plan

["Paul S." <contact () winterei se>]

Am I the only one who thinks this 'clench' is rather absurd especially 
right after one company pretty much got 1/4th of all remaining address 
space when there's such an insane crunch looming?

Regardless of how large / important they are, that is.

If anything, this is just gonna make things more difficult for smaller 
companies while larger ones roam free.
