I agree with this.

Same thing for me...

Large cables operators in Quebec have a lot of Class B and they offer as may
ip as customers wants...
I cannot do this...

I happen to agree with the ARIN attorney.  Why should legacy customers get a
free ride.  We pay significantly more for our
allotment, so should they.  If they paid a fair price, all of our prices
would be reduced.

In my geographical area it's becoming critical as a local competitor has a
legacy class B and can give away IP addresses as if
they're water.  I can not and they have an unfair competitive advantage.

We should all be treated the same.

Holy context batman, that is quite a bit different than your statement.

You also cut off the part where he says he hasn't thought about it much,
and the part where he notes 'the government gave away something without
any strings attached'.  That is an agreement with the government. So Mr.
Ryan appears to have mis-spoken about some lack of agreement between the
government and legacy holders.

And you left off the part about:

"I've thought about whether I could ask the United States Congress for
authority to have the government obtain back that which the government
gave. I don't know if that's constitutional, actually. I mean, I've
started to play with different theories here."

So the answer is that the ARIN Lawyer doesn't know.  ARIN hasn't offered
any definitive opinion as you assert.

Please tell the IETF you were wrong.
