Re: IPv4 flag day

Additionally to big tech, some connectivity providers, e.g. Cogent are
making close 10% of their revenue leasing IPv4. And it is their
fastest growing revenue.

Where do we aim? What share of connectivity providing business should
be IPv4 revenue? I'd like to argue, addresses should have no economic
value, and if they do, we've failed our job.
