[arin-ppml] TPRC Paper on IP Addresses and Transfer Markets: "Running on Empty: the Challenge of Managing Internet Addresses"

[Scott Leibrand]

I just finished reading this paper, and must say it's very well written, 
does an excellent job of summarizing the issues, and presents some 
excellent analysis.  I would recommend it to anyone subscribed to this 
list, and many others outside our community.

Thanks very much for the contribution.
